We’re thrilled to officially welcome you into a brand-new global collaboration between Stage 32 and Women in Film & Television International (WIFTI). This partnership has just been announced, and we are incredibly excited to begin supporting WIFTI members around the world with expanded access to professional, industry-led education.
Through this new partnership with WIFTI leadership, we’re bringing accessible, career-focused education directly to you and your members, wherever you are in the world — helping creatives at every stage build skills, confidence, and momentum in today’s global entertainment industry.
What Is Stage 32 Education?
For over 14 years, Stage 32 has been delivering relevant, actionable, and timely entertainment industry education to creatives and professionals worldwide. Our webinars, classes, and labs are taught by world-class educators who are actively working in the business right now, so what you learn is immediately applicable to your career.
As a result, Stage 32 has built the world’s largest online entertainment education library with more than 3,000 hours of programming.
Our education partners include Netflix, Cannes Marché du Film, American Film Market (AFM), Canon, United Airlines, Bloomberg, Variety, dozens of film commissions, film festivals, and more. Stage 32 Education has also been featured in Deadline, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, Indiewire, SCREEN, Forbes, Inc., Fast Company, The Atlantic, Entrepreneur, CNN, CNBC, FOX, and many others.
Stage 32 Education is also utilized by studios, streamers, networks, production companies, development executives, film commissions, and global organizations to train their teams and regional creative communities.
Learn in the Format That Fits Your Life
Through Stage 32 Education, you can choose from multiple learning paths depending on your goals:
Webinars – 90- to 120-minute online sessions covering specific topics like screenwriting, financing, pitching, production tools, or career insights. These are offered live and on demand. In the live version, your instructor will teach for approximately 60-75 minutes and then take questions from the live audience.
Classes – more in-depth online courses, usually run 2-4 sessions (either over consecutive days or weeks) that dive deeper into craft or business areas and are generally about 2 hours per session.
Labs – intensive small-group programs, ranging from 6-14 sessions, focused on achieving a specific goal (e.g., finishing a script or building a project package), with one-on-one mentoring time included. Labs are limited to a certain number of students to keep the sessions intimate and productive.
Certification Programs – structured programs that, upon completion, grant a Stage 32 Certification badge and entry into a global database of trained professionals

Supported by Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, and now Natalie Portman, The Writers Lab is the only program in the world devoted exclusively to script and career development for women and nonbinary writers 40+.
This year, TWL will run two Intensives: an inaugural Los Angeles Lab Intensive, as well as a New York City Lab Intensive. Your application will be considered for either or both Lab Intensives according to the preference you select. Submissions are open to US and international applicants, and both Features and Pilots (1-hour or half-hour format) in English will be considered. 16 projects will be selected for the in-person retreats: 8 projects in LA in October, and 8 in New York City in November.
At TWL Intensives, writers are challenged to bring fresh eyes to their selected projects and undergo deep project development work in one-on-one and group sessions, with revision guidance and career support from the experienced TWL team and some of the industry’s best writers and producers. The Lab aims to build skills, confidence and community, and to prepare writers for collaborative work and market demands. Shared meals, group activities and panel discussions provide opportunities for broader conversations and creative exchange.
Both Intensives, West Coast and East Coast, will be immediately followed by a 5-day paid screenwriting residency at a serene location outside the city. This optional Add-On will be discounted for Intensive participants and will be open to select additional applicants who qualify.
Previous TWL lab winners have gone on to secure management, writing and teaching gigs, win Nicholl and Page prizes, make The Black List, and have their screenplays produced.
