Take a day with Austin Film Festival to get back to what you want to do — write. Walk-ups are welcome!

Hosted by New Republic Studios, venture 30 minutes outside of Austin to enjoy writing in a new space. The studios are just far enough away from the city to forget your problems.

Bring your laptop, favorite pens or typewriter and start working on your next project! Or maybe dust off that one you’ve been avoiding. AND Coldtowne Theater is partnering to make our Writers’ Retreat even more interactive!

We’re offering an (optional) morning improv workshop during the retreat to help you warm up those fingers and brain cells. Also, our very own Yogi Sam Levine will be hosting a 30-minute yoga session at lunch! Hopefully, you’ll be given the opportunity to say “yes, and” to new skills, friendships, and that screenplay deal. No experience necessary!

Don’t worry, there will be a happy hour on the lot to celebrate your hard work, new friends and restored ambition.
