    I will take you from zero to working on your feature in 8 weeks through home writing assignments and in-class interactive workshops and lectures.


    • Scenes
    • Scene sequences
    • Dialogue
    • Action
    • Story Structure
    • Theme
    • Formatting For The Screen (very easy and simple)
    • And more - are covered completely in class.

    This is a dynamic, interactive workshop-based class that puts you firmly on the road to your dreams of writing a movie.
     

    titanicThere is more focus on a dynamic, problem-solving script workshop and in understanding advanced script techniques based on breakdowns of films and submitted ongoing student work.
    Class is 10% lecture, 90% interactive workshop.

    If you:

    • Have a script in progress.
    • Are continuing from the Intro class.
    • Or have written scripts previously...

    ...then this is probably your class.

    This is a dynamic, interactive workshop-based class that helps you shape your material and get it ready for marketing.

    neoEach class (Intro/Intermediate) has a bit different focus but they are both fundamentally geared to learn film theory, practice, and to write, write, write.

    Each week we will watch a movie at home, break it down in class, and work on our material in a hands-on, dynamic workshop.

    Work with other students in a fun, interactive setting.
