Have you ever watched a movie, been fascinated by the intricacies of its plot, been swept away by its scope, engrossed by the drama, excited by the dialogue, and thought to yourself, “I could have written that”? Well, I believe you can. This one-day class is designed for anyone who has ever had an idea for a screenplay and wondered what makes a great script into a successful film. Do you know what separates a spec script from a production script or a shooting script? How a screenplay differs from other forms of writing? When to follow the “rules” of a screenplay, when to break them, and why?
