How is your script coming along? Do you have a draft collecting dust, a ripe idea ready to harvest, or a blank page staring back at you? Come and join us for a Scriptwriting Workshop. We meet once a week for ten weeks on Zoom. You submit up to twenty pages every second week and receive facilitated feedback from associate writers. With your five turns, you can complete a full-length draft, a pilot and pitch deck, or five shorts during the Scriptwriting Workshop.
The most beneficial feature of this series is… the deadlines! Writers develop a routine and the space to create a lot of material in a short period of time. As a scriptwriter, you know how valuable it is to hear your material read aloud and how useful the insightful peer feedback can be. It will have you coming back for more. Then… there is the community… we support, encourage and inspire each other.
What makes my Scriptwriting Workshops different?
Finish a draft… You work on your own script the whole time. Over the ten weeks, you submit pages for professional facilitated peer feedback, which can result in a complete draft of a feature film, a pilot and pitch deck, a web series or a podcast. You set your own goals with an emphasis on accountability. Artists respond to deadlines!
Attention to details… Listening to your pages read aloud allows you to hear whether or not your jokes are landing, your rhythms are building, or if you have too much exposition. With each week’s submission, your script is broken into sections allowing for a keen focus on the dramatic action of every beat. We look at the big picture and the little details!
Professional Facilitation… With several sets of eyes on your work, the peer feedback is diverse and varied, which is a bonus for you, and this is where professional facilitating becomes key. We guide the notes in a supportive and palatable way.
Learn by doing… Many similar products on the market are pitched as ‘courses’, where they teach ‘the basics’. In our workshops there is no curriculum, but you can learn a lot through group discussions, access to our library of resources, and Craft Talks.
What are Craft Talks? When a writer identifies a need for knowledge about a topic related to their process, such as pitching, formatting or how to write a logline, we provide the essentials and lead the discussion. Essentially, we cover ‘the basics’ in a more organic way.
