The NYSL Weekend Film Screenplay Intensive will equip you with the knowledge, tools and techniques you'll need to turn your idea into a feature length screenplay. Over the course of the workshop we will explore:
How to design captivating, multi-dimensional characters and avoid cliché.
How to apply the elements of dramatic structure to best bring out the essence of your unique story.
How to create strong narrative and emotional drives in your script, and the difference between the two.
The step-by-step process of building your seed idea into a story and then a script.
Elements of effective scene construction.
The art of writing "visually".
How to write good dialogue (and not write bad dialogue).
Best strategies for getting your script to the screen when the time comes, plus a whole lot more…
You’ll come out of this Intensive with your movie idea much more fleshed out, a clear path for the writing road ahead, and a plan for what happens after you type THE END.
After completing the Intensive, you will also be eligible for The LAB.
