New Voices Live

On March 18, Humanitas presented New Voices Live, a staged reading of selected scenes from the 2022-2023 New Voices film and television scripts.

New Voices Fellowship is a four-month mentorship program for emerging television and screenwriters. The program is committed to identifying and empowering five writers each year who are unrepresented and are currently working on a 30- or 60-minute pilot or feature film screenplay that upholds the mission of Humanitas.
