About this Event
Learn the basic tools required to unlock your short- or feature-length screenplay ideas.
Experience Level: Beginner
Writing for film requires both a good story and a solid understanding of the craft of screenwriting. During this 3-part introductory workshop series, we will explore the basic tools required to unlock your short- or feature-length screenplay ideas. Topics covered include loglines, premise, theme, character, structure, dialogue and symbol.
Participants should bring their screenplay ideas to the first session. No experience necessary!
Please email workshops@edvideo.org with any questions and/or accessibility concerns.
