Are you interested in meeting other Sundance Collab members in a casual, moderated space? Join Sundance Collab for Script Club, a virtual event series designed to spark conversations with screenwriters, filmmakers, and cinephiles from across the world.


For our June Script Club, we will be celebrating Pride Month by revisiting the award-winning screenplay for The Kids are All Right, written by Lisa Chodolenko and Stuart Blumberg. Directed by Lisa Cholodenko, this heartfelt comedy-drama premiered at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, went on to win the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy, and was nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Original Screenplay.


To prepare for this event, we recommend that you first read the script then watch the film. Don’t miss this opportunity to celebrate this modern classic’s 15th anniversary, connect with fellow creatives, and celebrate storytelling that matters.


How Script Club Works:

  • Read the script in advance, watch the film if you can, then join us on Zoom for a lively discussion led by one of Sundance Collab’s Community Leaders.
  • The event will last approximately two hours and will start off with a moderated conversation and Q&A with special guest, writer and director Lisa Cholodenko.
  • We'll watch clips from the film, then break into interactive groups led by a Sundance Collab Community Leader to swap insights, questions, and creative takeaways from both the script and the film.
  • We encourage you to join our Community Forum on Discord to get prompts ahead of the event and continue the discussion with your peers afterward

Live event registration for Script Club Events is free of charge. This event will be recorded for archival only and will not be posted to the Video Library or emailed to registered participants. A free Sundance Collab account and advanced registration are required in order to receive the Zoom link for the event.
