Join screenwriters from around the world in this exclusive workshop taught by seasoned studio executive & professional  screenwriter Steven Douglas Craig.  

​

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

​

In this course, participants will be guided through the process of developing a feature-length screenplay from the seed of an idea, through an extensive outlining process, and into a polished Act One.  Participants will explore industry standard formatting, story structure, scene and sequence development, elements of tone, relevance of theme, creating believable character (s) and relationships, all while strategizing on where that project might fit within the current marketplace.

​

With the Instructor's guidance, participants will build a screenplay blueprint, using a combination of lectures, visual presentations, analytical discussion, screenplay analysis and extensive writing, to be intensely work shopped in class, with the intent of helping develop the individual writer's voice.

​

NOTE FOR FIRST CLASS: Come prepared to PITCH TWO feature film loglines. Your pitches should give a clear, concise, two or three-sentence answer to the questions “Who is your protagonist? Where is the story set? What is the antagonistic force? What is the central crisis?”
