This workshop focuses on the writing of the screenplay. The instructor will provide a bibliography of screenplays and books on the craft. Students should bring laptops to do in-class exercises. This workshop will consist of part lecture and part hands-on writing exercises. The instructor will also offer information on how to contact local filmmaking groups following the writing of the students' screenplays.
