F. Ross Johnson/Connaught Distinguished Speaker Series
This talk will explore how Project Narrative’s new empirical methods for studying democracy and storytelling have generated a half-dozen new film and TV projects at various Hollywood studios.

He’s also a Blacklist and Nicholl award-winning screenwriter who has sold or optioned six pilots and feature screenplays in the past three years to Disney, Universal, and other studios, for directors such as Michael Apted, James Strong, and four-time Oscar-nominee Gary Ross. His work on narrative and democracy has appeared in Critical Inquiry, and two-dozen other academic journals. His most recent book was published by Johns Hopkins University Press in 2016.
