Create the Writers Room, a creative incubator for underrepresented storytellers, is expanding its ongoing partnership with the Roku Channel. Select films from CTWR’s “Five Film Fridays” are streaming the Roku Channel, giving the filmmakers and talent exposure to the platform’s 100 million subscribers.

Create The Writers Room was founded in 2018 by filmmaker Rickey Castleberry with the mission to provide filmmakers with exhibition opportunities, as well as to equip them with the tools, education and industry insight necessary to retain creative control and build sustainable careers. “Five Film Fridays” is CTWR’s bespoke screening series: each quarter, five standout short films or proof-of-concepts are handpicked by industry insiders and showcased. The initiative also features intimate panels and fireside chats centered on ownership, authorship and navigating the evolving entertainment landscape.
