September 16, 2023 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm

  • Where: The AX Gallery
  • When: READING Friday September 15, 2023 @ 7:00pm
  • WORKSHOP Saturday September 16, 2023 @ 2:00 pm
  • Reading Cost: Free, donations appreciated.
  • Workshop Cost: $35 Register here

Workshop Description: The Art of Screenwriting 

You have a great idea for a TV show. Or maybe it’s a feature film? A digital series? Whatever it is, you need a script. And while there are as many rules for screenwriting as there are books on the subject, the art of writing for film and television boils down to some simple basics: keep your characters active; show, don’t tell; and give us somebody to root for.

From story engines to character creation to the proofing pass, join executive producer Amy Cameron to learn more about how to take an idea from your napkin to the screen. This workshop will have something for everyone from first-time screenwriters to those with a few scripts under their belt looking to brush up on the basics and get some tips from an experienced producer.
