SHORT COURSES
Creative Writing: Screenwriting
An introductory writing workshop for people interested in, but new to, writing for film and television. Many are more familiar with cinematic or televisual stories than any other art, yet too few try to tell stories in these pervasive media.
The prerequisite for level II is the completion of the previous level or prior experience. Applicants who wish to join level II and have prior experience in screenwriting are required to submit writing portfolio for trainer’s review. Applicants with no prior experience are encouraged to start from level I.
