This remote 6-WEEK CLASS will focus on helping writers who have developed a First Act of a screenplay (or television pilot) complete the first draft of their script.

​

You will learn how to create a compelling story, keep the audience interested and entertained through the script, and  use writing tools to get you through to the finish line.

 

Customized for the summer season, the class meets for six weeks, with an additional 1.5 hr. weekly writing lab to focus on your writing practice and process. The day and time of the lab will be determined in the first class by the participants.

  • Write effective action and dialogue to create subtext and advance dramatic tension.
