Austin Film Festival's Ghost Ranch Writers Retreat

Austin Film Festival hosts a yearly screenwriters and filmmakers’ retreat at the artists’ haven Ghost Ranch in Abiquiu, NM. This year, our creative getaway will take place August 11-15, 2024. In a small group setting, the retreat explores finding and developing your creative voice. You can also click here for more information on the event.

This year, Wendy Calhoun (writer/producer - The Rookie: Feds, Prodigal Son, Station 19, Empire, Nashville, Revenge, Justified) and Jim Hart (writer Hook, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Contact, Muppet Treasure Island, August Rush, The Hot Zone) will speak and offer insight on their writing process.

Previous attendees have described the Ghost Ranch Writers Retreat as:

• “The AFF Writers Retreat is a deeply meaningful experience for all writers. Its humanity, its warmth, its sincerity; none can be overstated.”
• “By far my best investment to grow and challenge my writing in a supportive environment.”
• “A magical historical creative oasis, a place where ideas and conversations flow and grow. You disconnect to reconnect—one of the best experiences I’ve ever had.”

 We’d love to open up this opportunity for your membership base, and offer a $25 off promo code for their use: GHOST25OFF.

 Hope to see you at Ghost Ranch!
