AFS Artist Intensive

The AFS Artist Intensive is an invitational, multi-day retreat held each fall by the Austin Film Society for emerging Texas writer-directors developing narrative feature films that are not yet in production. Over a long weekend, each writer-director team is paired with a writer-director creative advisor and a producing mentor, and every script is read in full and workshopped with professional actors through readings and rehearsals. There is no open application: participants are chosen from the applicant pool for the previous year's AFS Grant. The program page lists participants from 2013 through 2025, including Yen Tan, Annie Silverstein, Clay Liford and Channing Godfrey Peoples. Dates are not published.
