Event Overview

Do you have a great idea for a film and want to see it come to life on screen?

This class will help you mold your idea into a sharp and solid story that will engage audiences and then show you how to write it in a properly formatted professional looking screenplay.

We will discuss story structure and character building and standard tricks of the trade for getting through tough scenes, dialog and writers block. These tips will help you with any writing not just your class project. Most importantly we will discuss how to write a script that you can actually produce into a film given your experience and resources.

Part of the class will be open for Q&A on your specific project. You may come with a story in mind, a complete script or just a concept and this class will help you move your story to the next level.
