The Sundance Institute has selected alum Ramzi Bashour for their upcoming Screenwriting Intensive.

During the workshop, these emerging creatives from historically marginalized communities will develop their first fiction features under the guidance of established writers and the Institute’s Feature Film Program, led by Michelle Satter (founding senior director, Sundance Institute’s Artist Programs) and the Feature Film Program’s deputy director, Ilyse McKimmie.

Bashour will workshop his Tomahawk Springs (U.S.A.): After 17-year-old Daniel is expelled from high school in Indiana, his Lebanese mother Layal decides it’s best he move out to his father’s place in California. Agreeing to meet him halfway in New Mexico, mother and son — two formidable opponents — journey the road west, stopping at diners, motels, and hot springs along the way.
