Description:

The screenwriting workshop focuses on the art and craft of motion picture, television, and adaptive digital/multimedia screenwriting. Our course explores the genesis of screenwriting, via integral components of concept, genre, character, structure, dialogue, scene/sequencing, culminating in the preparation of screenplay and foundational development for a variety of screen formats. Competing pedagogy will be explored, including improvisational and independent/alternative approaches. Our journey features short lectures, screenings, weekly writing assignments, and a screenwriting workshop.   The expressed goal is to develop and finish several short film screenplays, a television sitcom sequence, culminating in an original narrative (approx. 15 - 25pp.) screenplay.
