“This is a moment we have been working toward for a couple of months, so the culminations of it finally happening was definitely shock ... shock but also extremely grateful,” Kaylee Hoth, one of the selected students, told the Deseret News.
This yearlong program provides aspiring screenwriters the opportunity to develop individual screenplays under the personal mentorship of de Souza, who will also consider selecting one of the projects to potentially direct. The writer’s room is based on the old writer’s room concept from Hollywood studios.
