About this Event
UPTOWN NYC, YOUR STORY WON'T WRITE ITSELF!
Have you ever said:
- "I've been meaning to write something…"
- "I don't know where to start."
- "I have ideas but they live in my head."
- "I'm scared I won't finish."
If any of these sound familiar, this workshop is for you.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
In just one hour, we'll cover:
✓ A simple movie & TV structure (explained in plain language, no jargon)
✓ Free screenwriting tools you can download today (including WriterDuet)
✓ One small, doable next step to keep you moving forward
This isn't a masterclass. It's not overwhelming. It's designed to help you START, and that's the hardest part.
WHO THIS IS FOR
This workshop is perfect for:
- Absolute beginners with zero screenwriting experience
- People who have ideas but don't know how to structure them
- Anyone who's started writing but never finished
- Community members who want to tell their stories
You don't need:
- Film school background
- Expensive software
- Previous writing experience
- Anything except yourself and an idea (even a tiny one)
WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH
By the end of this workshop, you'll have:
- A clear understanding of how stories are structured
- Knowledge of free tools to start writing TODAY
- One concrete next step (no more staring at blank pages)
- Connection with other local writers taking the same journey
