Transform your story into a screenplay through this intensive 8-week workshop, where experienced instructor guidance ensures every critique session stays focused and constructive.
ZOOM Class Meeting Dates: April 2, April 9, April 16, April 23, April 30, May 7, May 14, & May 21
7:00 PM to 9:00 PM (Wednesdays*)
Bring your treatment or synopsis – whether it’s one page or ten – and join a supportive community of writers dedicated to bringing scripts to life. Each week, participants will bring their next set of pages to be workshopped (read aloud), with instructor-led feedback drawing from decades of industry expertise to pinpoint what works and what needs strengthening. Our shared end goal? Completing a ROUGH first draft. Complementing our live sessions, you’ll have access to a curated library of video lectures covering essential craft elements, all designed to help you navigate common pitfalls and strengthen your unique voice on the page.
*This workshop takes place on Wednesdays.
