By now, you should be comfortable with structure, character development, and dialogue. It’s time to finish your script (or start and finish if you're an experienced screenwriter looking to start a new project). 

While Screenwriting 101 is not a prerequisites for this class, you'll be expected to have started a screenplay, or be prepared to start and finish one, or have a solid understanding of the craft going in. 

Details

  • You must have downloaded, and be comfortable with, the screenwriting software Final Draft (or the equivalent, such as Celtx or  Writerduet). 

Class Policies

Ages 14 and up are welcome.
