Online Workshop
Do you have a screenplay that you've been wanting to finish but haven't been able to? Are you stuck on a plot point or a tough scene? In this workshop we will take your unfinished screenplay to completion with weekly feedback sessions and tips on how to get your story back on track. Come prepared with a cursory knowledge of screenplay structure and at least a completed first act of a screenplay—which you have either developed independently or in the four weeks prior to this workshop, in Feature Writing Bootcamp I.
Prerequisites: A completed first act of a screenplay—which you have either developed independently or in the four weeks prior to this workshop, in Feature Writing Bootcamp I.
