January 7, 2019 @ 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
$300Start the New Year right and finish your feature-length screenplay! This screenwriting workshop will focus on intensive feedback culminating in participants finishing a feature-length script by the end of our nine week workshop. We will help you electrify your story idea and/or help you adapt your piece of fiction or nonfiction into a format suitable for a script. Some previous knowledge of screenwriting structure is recommended but not required. Also as a part of this workshop we will discuss strategies for selling your script and/or getting it made into a film.
