Salwa’s feature screenplay, The Strangest Part of the Forest, had a reading on January 20th in Chicago. The script is Salwa’s thesis for her MFA in Writing for the Screen and Stage at Northwestern University.

​

In this animated feature for children, twins Juniper and Clementine are drawn into a magical forest that only gets stranger the deeper they go in. They travel alongside Alder, a tree-boy, and Beet, a giant beetle, to rescue their sister Rosemary and return home braver and better equipped to handle the huge, unnameable feelings we all experience.

The recording of the livestream is available here.
