Description

Part one of a two-part program. Aimed at students who already have basic screenwriting strengths, and are in the intermediate-to-advanced skill range. While focus will depend on the writer-in-residence, the course will include sessions in plot and structure, character and dialogue, tension and conflict, tone and symbolism, and revision strategies.
