Building on the past three successful summer programs,
this intensive two-week screenwriting workshop focuses on the key
elements of craft. Using your own ideas you go through a step-by-step
process, learning and applying the logic of character, dialogue,
the visual component and transitions. You learn how to prove out
your story and the plotting of story. By the end of the workshop
you will have completed a short screenplay of ten to twenty pages
and will present your work to an invited audience. The group is
kept small (8 participants) for individual attention and is a fresh
approach for both beginning and experienced writers.
