Screenwriting – Experienced Level (on ZOOM)

This course is for those who have taken the “Intro to Screenwriting” 6-week course with us, or those who have some previous experience writing screenplays. A three page screenwriting sample will be required for all applicants.

This 10-week course aims to have you finish the first 60 pages of a full length feature screenplay. From inception to loglines, this class requires a commitment of at least 6 pages per week. It begins with you pitching ideas to a writers room environment and ends with the FIRSTLOOK showcase evening of your best 10 pages to be read by professional actors in front of an audience of friends, family and invited industry professionals.

Course Overview
Classes 1-4: Group Sessions covering structure, development, and the business of marketing screenplays.
Classes 6: One-to-one mentoring and guidance in seeing your first draft through so individual appointments will replace group class.
Classes 7-9: Return to group class and prep for public reading on the evening of the 10th class presentation.
Class 10: “First Look” a public sharing of work with professional actors reading selected scenes.

Access to ZOOM is required for this course.
We will be keeping the same SMALL CLASS SIZE of only 7 students in order to maintain the highest standard of tutoring and full interaction. There will be constant interaction with specific writing assignments for you that will be shared within the course. You must have access to the internet via a laptop or tablet with earphones/microphone and camera in order to participate in this class on ZOOM. We are hoping that the final “First Look” sharing of work will take place in a live setting to be determined depending on COVID-19 restrictions.
