Advanced Screenwriting
Sidewalk Film Center + Cinema 1821 2nd Ave N, Birmingham, Alabama 35203
In this Advanced Screenwriting Workshop intended for writers working on a script at any stage — from ideation to revision — we will explore the components that make up a strong feature screenplay through lecture, film examples, discussion, and writing exercises. Each of the three sessions will have an overarching theme -- beginning with structure (story/plot, three act structure, and sequences), followed by character (creating strong protagonists and antagonists through specificity, subjectivity, and access), and ending with story dynamics (emphasizing setting, conflict/obstacles, action, and theme).
Participants will be emailed a Zoom link 30 minutes before the workshop start time. Registration cuts off 30 minutes before workshop start time.
Session 1: June 1, 7:30pm
Session 2: June 8, 7:30pm
Session 3: June 15, 7:30pm
$40 for all three sessions (no a la carte registration)
