AS WRITERS OURSELVES, we too have stared down the flashing cursor on a blank page, we too have mastered the skill of procrastination to avoid writing the difficult scene, and we too have barely survived the near-death experience of getting through a second act.
We created Lexicon in order to build a community of writers driven on by demons they can neither resist nor understand. Founded by Academy Award® winning screenwriter Alexander Dinelaris, (Birdman (or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)), and dedicated to a ‘Script First’ approach, Lexicon NY is setting out to support, protect and challenge writers – from first timers to award winners - to make the creation and eventual production of great scripts a less painful, dare we say even enjoyable, process.
To be perfectly honest, our greatest hope is that by nurturing and encouraging the talent of other writers, we could completely avoid writing ourselves.
