LEARN MOREJump Start Your Writing
Whether you’re a young writer picking up the pen for the first time, or an old pro looking to inject new life into your writing, this exciting workshop will teach you a whole new way of looking at the fundamentals, and help you integrate your artistic goals into your real world life.
A Special Emphasis On In-Class Writing
Experience mind opening in-class writing exercises, designed to get you writing and keep you writing. Learn how to get your creativity flowing at will, and get the feedback you need to find your voice as a writer, and create the kinds of scenes that you’ve always wanted to write.
Harness The Power of Seven Act Structure
As you make your way deeper into your script, you’ll learn how to use the fundamentals of Seven Act Structure to power your plot and keep your story moving. Rather than imposing formulaic models from the outside, you’ll learn to organically “grow” your script, from initial idea, to character, to scene, to act, to the movie you’ve always dreamed of writing.
A Community That Fuels Your Creative Fire
Our special approach to feedback fosters a close-knit community of fellow writers, whose only goal is to support you in yours. Together, you’ll discover a new form of feedback that keeps the focus on what really matters: your story and how you want to tell it.
Build A Writing Lifestyle
This workshop will teach you more than just great writing. It will prepare you to make writing a permanent part of your life. Along the way, you’ll learn how to overcome writer’s block, self doubt, procrastination, and other obstacles to build the writing life you have always wanted for yourself
