ONGOING - Screen Writing Workshop

For beginning to intermediate screenwriters and directors with or without an idea for a short film, or anyone with an interest in filmmaking and/or storytelling.

Develop a first version of a script for a short film from scratch in just 6 weeks.

First we explore the creative process, and look at ways to find and develop ideas. After this we create a small scene to identify the basic elements of cinematic writing. We pay attention to finding the structure that helps you tell your story and writing dialogue. Giving and receiving feedback on presented work is a central element of the workshop.
