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? Date: Saturday, February 26, 2022 from 2pm-5pm Location: Virtual Zoom link Cost: $54 for Members, $63 for Nonmembers Join me as we wade through the ins-and-outs of screenwriting, the elements that comprise a successful screenplay, and how to identify these elements in successful scripts and movies. You will be emailed the Zoom link 24 hours before the start of class. If you sign up less than 24 hours before the start of the class, please email Kristen at programs@sandiegowriters.org for your link.
