How it works:

Students must submit scripts prior to beginning the course for approval. Each student will receive individual comments with concrete, actionable notes vis-a-vis storyline, structure and technical improvements. Scene writing will be explored on various levels to provide tools for creating dynamic stories. Students will analyze their own work, receive constructive feedback, and learn how to rewrite to improve character development, rhythm, pace, and dialogue. There will be a keen emphasis on enhancing the script’s forward motion, the momentum that keeps readers hooked.
Course Time Frame: Four sessions over two consecutive weekends.
