Every movie starts with a writer, and a blank page – and that is where this workshop will begin.

Who are you writing for? What is your inner voice dying to express? We will explore ideas for stories and characters and making choices that work for you.

Participants will learn about:

  • Story
  • Creating Characters & Relationships
  • Basic Dramatic Structure
  • Dialogue
  • Screenplay Format
  • Selling your Screenplay
