WDtS Online: Intro to Screenwriting

This class is free and you do not need to pay or apply for a scholarship. Instead, to join this class fill out This Form. DO NOT use any of the other buttons or links to apply to this class.

This 90-minute course will look at the most basic elements of screenwriting: character, dialogue and plot. Our goal is to show that nothing is universal when it comes to movies. Some films have no dialogue, while others are full of long-winded soliloquies. Participants can expect to leave the class with a rough outline for their next screenplay, and a refreshed perspective on the art of writing movies! Writers of all levels and experience welcome!
