Intro To Screenwriting

Thursdays • 7:00pm - 8:00pm CDT

$250 / 12 weeks (September 4 - November 20)

How is this important to me as an actor?

Because it deepens their understanding of character, structure, and dialogue, empowering them to create and interpret roles with greater authenticity and intention.

 

In this 12 week course, students will be introduced to the basics of screenwriting. They will learn:

• proper formatting

• how to write strong dialogue

• character development

• beats needed for a 3 act structure.

 

Each week students will be assigned homework that will progressively amount to a finished original short film. (7-12 pages) They will also be assigned to watch a weekly film at home.

Books Referenced throughout the course:

Save the Cat! By Blake Snyder | Your Screenplay Sucks by Will Akers
