Event Overview
How do you get from concept to execution?
Writing is a process -- treat it like that and it can be your carpool lane on the freeway, and not your writer's roadblock. In this interactive workshop, we'll take some of the story ideas brought in (or create our own as a group), and take it through the steps of prewriting, engage in active story development exercises and games, and how to write within the three act structure.
To give us a foundation to be inspired from, we'll look at the shooting scripts from a few successful films, and deconstruct what makes them work so well, and through that, discover how saving cats and killing your babies can lead you to your best story.
