“ One of the best educational experiences I’ve ever had” – Gabriel Magadieu, Falmouth, ME “ Eye opening, constructive and liberating.” Benjamin Gordon, NYC, NY Please note: Participants might incur streaming rental costs of $10-20 to watch assigned films at home. The instructor will also be available for one-on-one sessions throughout the week. We will also explore how the film and television industries work and how careers are launched.Ĭlass time is divided between lectures on the dynamics of screenwriting and discussion of student scripts. If you are developing an idea or outline that is on its way to becoming a script, you will leave the course having written a “treatment” that details the flow of the script, a document that will incorporate scenes you write at the workshop.
