8 Wednesdays, October 22 to December 10, 6:30 pm to 10:00 pm Instructor: Marty Leicht, M.F.A., Author and Screenwriter
What is the importance of a good screenplay? Put simply, a screenplay gives a story structure. By setting an order to the story’s events and the choices the characters make, writers create a solid and engaging plot. Without structure, stories devolve into chaos, or worse yet, boredom. In this workshop, writers will build on the concepts covered in the previous course to develop a structurally sound outline and begin work on a feature screenplay.
Writers will be required to read the work of their peers and provide thoughtful notes to aid in workshop discussions. Each writer will present twice over the course of eight weeks, ultimately producing the first third of a polished script. With the feedback given, writers will finish the workshop with a strong foundation for the continuation of their own original work.
This course is open only to those who have taken The Building Blocks of the Screenplay and will require writing and other work outside of class. Enrollment is limited to eight students. Early registration is encouraged.
