About

The Breakk is a 3-day creative retreat that brings emerging female television writers together with top execs and working industry professionals.  The idea is to relax together, break bread together, drink together; all while connecting, collaborating, brainstorming and bonding - together!  This intimate environment has a laid back anti-conference feel - creating space for ideas to emerge and beautiful connections to flourish.  Whether you're a writer trying to break in, break story, in the middle of an act break, or simply just need a break - The Breakk is for you!

Benefits

The top finalists will be read by the VIP jury which includes amazing talent agents, development executives, and festival directors including:

Brad Rosenfeld: Brad represents writers and directors working on shows such as American Dad, Survivor's Remorse, Here Now, The Quad, Chicago P.D. and The Real O'Neils to name a few.  Brad loves a challenge, and tends to work with an eclectic list of clientele ranging from traditional film and television writers to creators of children's content, live stage shows and tours.

Jonas Larsen: As the EVP, Talent and Development for the network behind such hits as The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Broad City, Tosh.O, Workaholics and the Emmy Award-winning series South Park, Jonas is responsible for Comedy Central's Los Angeles-based talent and development team in its effort to identify and develop talent for all west coast-based pilots and original series.
