Working on a feature-length script right now. The treatment has been sent out for various development grants. Hopefully, I am able to secure some, as I am planning on hiring several writers for a writer's room for the film. It has several layers, and doing justice to it by me writing it alone, will not suffice. Nice to meet everyone here.
Other than that, I am an actor, producer, writer, director and have done several shorts that are currently on the festival circuit.

Hello from a fellow Austin-based actor Kirtana Banskota! Congrats on your shorts that are in the festival circuit! And best of luck with your development grant on your feature! Sending you a network request and DM - always love connecting with my fellow Austinites!
Kirtana Banskota wishing you the best of great good fortune and success with what sounds like an innovative project!
Great to meet you, Kirtana Banskota, and welcome to the community! Congrats on your feature, that's awesome! Wow, you don't normally hear of writer's rooms for a feature. Is there a reason you feel compelled to have one? Like an ensemble cast? Otherwise, you could hire one writer and employ several people as consultants to give notes, which might save you time and money.
But don't take my word for it - you can reach out through the Screenwriting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting) for advice and insight, although I'd LOVE for you to share your journey of making films during COVID in the Filmmaking Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/directing). Keep at it and keep us posted!
