In today\u2019s blog, we\u2019re taking a deep dive into what the residency entails so you can have a better idea of what to expect. We\u2019ll hear from an alum of the program and discuss key components of the residency, such as the Semel Chair feature, where an award-winning screenwriter teaches a master class.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does the Residency Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Each semester, the Writing for Film and Television program begins with a week-long, in-person residency, held at either Emerson\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/emerson.edu\/emerson-life\/campus\"><strong>Boston<\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong>or <a href=\"https:\/\/emerson.edu\/emerson-los-angeles\"><strong>Los Angeles (LA) campus<\/strong><\/a><strong>. <\/strong>The goal of starting the semester with a residency is to give students a chance to come together with their faculty and peers before they transition to their online learning environment. Every residency has a specific theme, from series television writing to the business of screenwriting. All of the instruction and work students complete during the residency tie into that semester\u2019s residency theme. Students will meet with the faculty from their online courses, workshop their writing, pitch ideas for the scripts they\u2019ll write that semester, and meet with their cohort of peers in person.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Semel Chair<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Each residency, students participate in a Master Class taught by the semester\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/emerson.edu\/majors-programs\/graduate-programs\/writing-film-and-television-mfa-low-residency\/emerson-advantage#:~:text=Semel%20Chair%20%26%20Guest%20Lectures\"><strong>Semel Chair<\/strong><\/a><strong>, <\/strong>an award-winning screenwriter. The fall 2022 Semel Chair was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm1004604\/\"><strong>Adele Lim<\/strong><\/a>, Emerson alum and writer of<em> Crazy Rich Asians<\/em> and <em>Raya and the Last Dragon<\/em>. Other <a href=\"https:\/\/emerson.edu\/majors-programs\/graduate-programs\/writing-film-and-television-mfa-low-residency\/emerson-advantage#:~:text=Previous%20Semel%20Chairs\"><strong>past Semel Chairs<\/strong><\/a> include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0015327\/\"><strong>Mara Brock Akil<\/strong><\/a><strong>,<\/strong> executive producer of <em>Girlfriends<\/em> and <em>Black Lightning<\/em>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm1341735\/\"><strong>David Magee<\/strong><\/a><strong>,<\/strong> writer of <em>Life of Pi<\/em> and <em>Finding Neverland<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Current student Noelle Llewellyn says learning from the Semel Chair each semester has been an important part of her experience in the program. Her second residency in the program featured <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm1810585\/\"><strong>Britt Matt<\/strong><\/a><strong>,<\/strong> executive producer of the hit Amazon series, <em>Harlem<\/em>. Noelle says, \u201cBritt gave us huge intel into what makes for a stellar pitch when she had us pitch her our pilot ideas. Hearing about her professional progression and getting tips along the way provided us with once-in-a-lifetime access to the careers we are all aspiring to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Workshops<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the Master Class, the residency includes a number of peer workshop opportunities. During workshops, students get peer and faculty feedback on their screenwriting projects. \u201cIt\u2019s inspiring to hear your work being read aloud and getting real-time feedback, as well as the multitude of unique ideas being written across the program,\u201d Noelle says of the peer workshops.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Networking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond classroom learning and workshops, the residency is a great opportunity for networking. In the screenwriting world, connections are integral to success, and the residency gives students a chance to form important connections.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2023\/07\/Campus-4.jpg\" alt=\"Aerial view of the Boston skyline and a baseball field\" class=\"wp-image-3458\" srcset=\"https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2023\/07\/Campus-4.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2023\/07\/Campus-4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2023\/07\/Campus-4-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Emerson&#8217;s Boston campus is in the heart of downtown<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>During the residency week, students have the opportunity to meet the Semel Chair and guest lecturers, who often include managers, agents, and more. Noelle says the guest speakers at the residency opened her eyes to many different career paths within the entertainment industry. \u201cHearing from speakers from unexpected industries as varied as animation and video production provided added value by exposing us to additional ways to break into the industry,\u201d she says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emerson\u2019s low-residency <a href=\"https:\/\/emerson.edu\/majors-programs\/graduate-programs\/writing-film-and-television-mfa-low-residency\"><strong>Writing for Film and Television<\/strong><\/a> graduate program gives students the flexibility to complete their degree from home.
