Hi Everyone, We’re continuing the momentum into 2026 with our next **St. Louis Filmworks Masterclass + Meetup**, part of our new SLFW Masterclass Series. This event will be hosted by **[STL.org](https://www.stl.org/)**, and we’d love to see you there. DATE: Tuesday, April 14th TIME: 5–9 PM ADDRESS: 3033 Locust Ave., St. Louis, MO 63103 COST: Free (Food & beverages provided) MASTERCLASS: **From Script to Set** with *Mia Bible & Chris Lawing*\, 5:30\-6:30 PM \| Networking from 6:30\-9PM This is a rare opportunity to learn from two working filmmakers actively bringing stories from page to production, navigating the real path from script to set. **Featuring Mia Bible:** Award-winning actor, writer, and producer whose work spans narrative film, television, and documentary. Her short film *HONORABLE* earned international recognition and a Best Short Film award, while her production work includes projects with ESPN+, Hulu, and The CW. A St. Louis creative force, Mia is also the founder of initiatives that expand visibility and opportunity for Black artists and production crews. **Featuring Chris Lawing:** Award-winning director, editor, and cinematographer with over 25 years of experience across film, television, and commercial production. His career includes work on projects like Pixar’s *Monsters, Inc.* and numerous broadcast productions, as well as writing and directing feature films including *Penitentia* and *Greg’s Going to Rehab*. Through his company, Mercury Films, Chris has built a body of work that blends cinematic storytelling with real-world production expertise. Together, they’ll break down the first steps of transforming a screenplay into a living, breathing production, moving from words on a page to people, places, and things. Bring a friend and join us for an evening of conversation, connection, and creative ignition. Warmly, **Your SLFW Team**
