SCREENWRITING 101

Workshop Instructor: Wally Lane

Get started on the right track! Designed for new screenwriters, this course will guide you from the conception of the idea through the necessary steps every good screenwriter takes when getting ready to write a screenplay. You'll learn how to develop three-dimensional characters, develop a story outline, and how to write a treatment from that story outline. Once you're equipped with these necessary tools, you're ready to turn your story into a screenplay!
