Ever had an idea for a screenplay but have no idea where to start? If so, this class is for you!
Local hero and screenwriting professor Sophie Finkelstein will introduce you to the craft of screenwriting and take you through an exploration into the universal art of storytelling.
Over the course of six weeks, you will learn new ways to think about your work, industry strategies to help organize your ideas, questions to ask yourself, and straight up tricks to make the blank page more approachable and equip you with all the tools you need to turn your story ideas into screenplays.
Each week we will focus on a different element of writing such as conflict, suspense, structure, character, dialogue and more. We'll explore these topics through discussion, writing exercises, workshops, readings, screenings and special guest lecturers.
You will leave this class with a better understanding of the craft of screenwriting and a clear plan to take on your first (or next) feature with a workshopped outline and a draft of your first act. Come with one idea or several or none! Together, we'll hone and shape your idea before taking to the page.
