Storytelling Lab
"Stories are the human thread that connects us."
-- Bonnie Garvin
Bonnie Garvin has spent nearly two decades teaching screenwriting at the University of Southern California, but her real classroom has always been the world. An award-winning Hollywood writer and producer, she received an Edgar Award nomination for The Killing Yard and a Silver Gavel Award for the film’s accurate portrayal of the judicial system. Bonnie’s work has brought stories to life on both sides of the Atlantic. She's also a produced playwright.
During COVID, when the world went quiet, Bonnie found the story in it. She created Storytelling Lab to bring people together from around the globe, built on a single belief she has held her entire career: we are born storytellers.
Storytelling Lab is a six-week, six-person intensive for anyone who has ever said I have a story, but I don't know how to tell it. Bonnie's job is to prove that wrong.
