WIFVNE hosts A Conversation with AIR Screenwriter Alex Convery

All are invited to join WIFVNE for an intimate conversation with screenwriter and producer Alex Convery on Thursday, August 22nd at 7PM EST on Zoom. Convery is best known for writing the screenplay for the feature film AIR, directed by Ben Affleck, who also appears in the film opposite stars Matt Damon, Viola Davis, and Jason Bateman. AIR follows the history of sports marketing executive Sonny Vaccaro, and how he led Nike in its pursuit of the greatest athlete in the history of basketball, Michael Jordan.

WIFVNE Board Ambassador Hannah Eaton will moderate the event, followed by an opportunity to ask Alex any questions about his background and career as a writer and producer. We hope you can join us for this exciting conversation and unique opportunity to connect with Alex!
