Video: 2017 Santa Barbara Film Festival

The screenwriting panel from the event in February this year.

I somehow missed this so I’m happy I found it as I’ve featured this panel for the last four years. Hosted by Anne Thompson, this year’s writers were Taylor Sheridan (Hell or High Water), Rhett Reese (Deadpool), Mike Mills (20th Century Women), Theodore Malfi (Hidden Figures), Phil Johnston (Zootopia), Eric Heisserer (Arrival), and Luke Davies (Lion).
