ATTENTION Fans of Showtime’s “Homeland” and Screenwriters Everywhere

The National Writers Series is proud to present An Evening with Chip Johannessen,
one of television’s most creative and successful writers and producers. Chip Johannessen is Executive Producer and writer of Homeland. Critics have hailed Homeland as the best thing on television, period. Think of this drama as a “filmed” story you might read in The New Yorker, influenced by deep character study and gripping suspense. On January 13, 2013, Homeland was television’s big winner of the evening at the 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards. Stars Claire Danes and Damian Lewis won Best Actress and Best Actor in a television drama, and Homeland was named Best Television Drama. Johannessen brought pages from his favorite scripts to accompany a select reel of “Homeland” moments. Chip Johannessen will take you backstage as he and Doug Stanton explore how Homeland is brought to life from script to screen.
