Join Our Monthly Writing Hour And Q&A

Date / Time
Summary

Ask any lingering questions you may have about Roadmap Writers, the Career Writer Program, how to make sure you're getting the most bang for your buck, and then spend a luxurious session writing with your fellow writers, perhaps with prompts, perhaps with music, perhaps just with the company of other writers. Hop on and get those pages done!

The first 30 minutes will be Q&A before diving into the full writing hour, so if you want to skip the first part, plan to join the zoom at 5:30pm PT. 

More about David Chien

David Chien is a talent and literary manager with over ten years of experience working with actors, writers, and directors. David fell in love with the business as a kid when he immigrated to America and absorbed the culture through his TV screen, experiencing firsthand how tv and film can connect people.

Starting in the business in 2008, working for talent agent Mark Scroggs, he helped launch the careers of Danny Pudi on COMMUNITY, Fiona Gubbelman on WILFRED, and Kaitlyn Black on HART OF DIXIE, amongst others. Realizing his love of building long-term strategies and 360 brands for clients, he decided to pivot from the agency side to talent management.

Joining Art/Work Entertainment in 2012, he discovered Awkwafina on YouTube and acquired her first television deal with Comedy Central. Through that experience he found his passion for working with multi-hyphenates and literary talents. With his then client, Jonnie “Dumbfoundead” Park, he set up three pilot development deals as well as his first feature deal, K-POPS, starring and directed by Anderson.Paak, which premiered at TIFF. While at Art//Work Entertainment he started their director division. He found an exceptional young director, Bola Ogun, and helped her advance from directing short films to directing the season 3 finale of THE WITCHER. In addition, he worked with writers, such as Tom Westfall, who co-created a limited series with Academy Award nominee, Lee Danials, as well as other writers and showrunners of high pedigree.

In the Fall of 2024, David left Art/Work Entertainment and founded Crossover Entertainment. Today, he identifies and brings to light underrepresented and undervalued voices and talents.
