Class Description
Description
Clarify and improve your indie feature idea in order to understand its potential, and gain the tools you need to launch a writing process that will sustain you through a finished draft.
In this one-day, participatory workshop, writers or writer/directors who have an idea for an independent feature film will spend the day clarifying this idea in order to understand its potential. We will examine how structure, genre, and tone can help the writer shape his or her concept, with innovation as the key value in preparation for a competitive landscape ahead.
Small and personal movie ideas are welcome, as well as all levels of writing experience. We will look at clips of independent films, discuss students’ ideas, and engage with in-class exercises. The goal is for participants to improve story ideas as well as gain tools to launch a writing process that can sustain all the way through a finished draft.
