Zac Baldwin, Artemis Co-Founder takes time to speak with the 2021 Screenplay finalists.

The panelists include:  Tishia Malone (Between the Flames). Johanna Juntunen (Feather), JL Marten (Hard Jack), Maureen Sasscer (Heard), Gina DeAngelis (Private Thompson’s Secret War), Thoren Syndergaard (Ripley of Valor), Sam Jeurgens (The Hardest Hit), Dylan Kilgour (Undercard), and Helen Taylor (Warpaint).
