Deadline is launching a new writer-focused series Proper Presents: Deadline Dinners, an event designed to foster candid conversation, celebrate breakthrough storytelling and build community around the written word.
The first event will take place Tuesday, June 24 and be hosted by Tory Kamen, the screenwriter behind Scarlett Johansson’s directorial debut Eleanor the Great that just had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. Kamen will invite a roster of young female screenwriters to honor the fresh perspectives and powerful storytelling of women making their mark in the entertainment industry.
All events will take place at the Santa Monica Proper hotel and be curated under Proper Hotels’ cultural platform “Proper Presents,” with each gathering featuring a menu crafted by Proper’s award‑winning culinary teams, bespoke Diageo’s cocktail pairings, and a roundtable discussion.
The first event in the series will be in partnership with Diageo’s brand Don Julio.
More events in the series will be announced soon.
