FADE IN: "Formula" marathons for writing often yield an unsatisfying script. Pour a cup of java and let's make writing fast mesh with writing quality. We cover: 1) making a script effective from the start; 2) developing story structure; 3) deepening characterization; 4) enriching scenes; 5) discovering the secrets of middles; 6) finding endings with fast finish techniques.
Level I features optional, basic-level exercises, $175;
Level III Be-A-Pro & Script Critique, includes feedback on all exercises and a critique of your finished draft, $375.
SPECIAL BENEFIT OF THIS COURSE: All levels give you a professional mentor who won't disappear after you finish the workshop. Create dynamic stories all the way to FADE OUT.
Work at your own pace. Noncredit.
