During the workshop we’ll watch some film clips, read their counterpart script excerpts, and then do some writing of our own – in any form or style that you choose. This workshop is about applying the strengths of screenwriting to ALL kinds of writing. You’ll be in a safe supportive space that encourages exploration. Because we’ll only be creating first draft texts, we won’t be engaging in critique, but we will be looking for ‘What’s working? What’s strong in this piece of (new) writing?’

NOTE: you don’t need any prior film writing experience, and there is no requirement that you write a piece of screenwriting. The point is to simply observe (and try out, of course!) how the FORM of screenwriting can help you write with more clarity, no matter what style of writing you choose to write.
