Screenwriter and director Ron Nyswaner will speak on provoking conversations through media and his portrayal of the LGBTQ+ community and their stories at a National Press Club Headliners breakfast on December 4.
From his Academy Award-nominated screenplay for the seminal AIDS film “Philadelphia,” to the first mainstream transgender-focused film “Soldier’s Girl,” to Showtime’s upcoming “Fellow Travelers” focusing on the 1950s Washington, D.C. Lavender Scare and the men and women caught up in it, Ron Nyswaner has been the lens through which many Americans have viewed the stories of the LGBTQ+ community. Along with his other work on such acclaimed projects as “Homeland” and “The Painted Veil,” Nyswaner will discuss his body of work and his passion for intricately drawn characters and subjects that provoke discussion.
The event begins with doors opening to the Fourth Estate Room at 9:30 a.m. Remarks begin at 10 a.m., followed by a question-and-answer session ending at 11 a.m. National Press Club members may purchase tickets for $5. Non-member tickets cost $15.
To submit a question in advance for the speaker, put LGBTQ in the subject line and email it to [email protected]. The deadline for submitting questions in advance is 9 a.m. on the day of the breakfast.
