ONLINE WORKSHOP

(Film Co-op members are required to take a Screenwriting workshop before they can do their own projects through the Film Co-op.)

Workshop Description:

The screenplay is the backbone of narrative visual storytelling. Directors can direct phenomenally, actors can act their hearts out, and cinematographers can effectively capture the world but without a proper script supporting them, it will all inevitably fall short. In this workshop we will discuss how screenwriting is an incredibly powerful storytelling medium and how to effectively write a story that will eventually be translated from the page to the screen. Topics will include narrative structure, visual metaphor, theme, dialogue, formatting and so much more!
