Script Club: “Women Talking”

An in-depth video conversation about the Oscar-winning screenplay written by Sarah Polley.

From Script Club:

Screenwriter and Development Executive Luke Foster hosts an in-depth discussion about Sarah Polley’s screenplay for Women Talking.

Guests include screenwriter, producer, author and host of Go Into The Story Scott Myers, director Abbie Lucas and filmmaker, and Festival Director of FilmPride Deborah Espect.

Executive Producer Nathan Haines fields questions and comments from Script Club members attending live online.

This event was originally held on September 20th 2023.

This is a cool project: Each month, Luke Foster hosts a conversation about a notable movie script. When Luke contacted me to join a session discussing Women Talking, I jumped at the opportunity.

I had already done a six-part analysis of the script and movie on the blog. Plus, I had hosted a Q&A with writer-director Sarah Polley when there was an early screening of the movie in Chicago last November. At that time, I told Sarah I thought Women Talking would win an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. Turns out, I was right.
