Let’s face it. There are a million different paths to success. That’s true to some degree for most industries, but even more so for Tinseltown. We get it, and so we understand why it’s important to hear from people who have achieved what you want to achieve. Learn what their obstacles were, how they overcame them, and take what you can from those lessons to apply to your own life.
While it is true that there are as many paths to success as there are people, we can all learn something from how someone else did it. That’s why Roadmap is thrilled to have our lovely alumnus Jaime Kawamoto back to share her story!
This 90-Minute Webinar Will Cover:
- Getting started in screenwriting
- Building your portfolio
- Networking
- How to take a meeting
Jaime Kawamoto is a proud Japanese-Canadian who writes to free the sarcastic, knife-wielding cheerleader cartwheeling through her brain. In 2026, she has multiple features actively moving forward, including the inspired-by-true-crime thriller THE WAIT, sci-fi book adaptation THE PROSPECT OF MY ARRIVAL and coming-of-age drama PURE IDENTITY. Recently, Jaime developed a fetish horror feature in Jumpcut Media's Women in Genre Incubator, was invited to Stowe Story Labs with a horror feature, and co-created/wrote/produced a scripted podcast series with the Emmy-winning team at Sound Rebels. On the TV front, she was invited to 2025's Nicole Kidman-supported The Writer's Lab with a dramedy pilot about pickleball. Jaime's BFA in screenwriting, along with her time in the Second City Conservatory and Roadmap Writers' Career Program, helps her spin trauma and anger into storytelling gold.
Jaime also runs Roadmap Writers' invite-only Top Tier Program, helping screenwriters build their careers.
