Feature Film Writing Conservatory

In this highly intensive, focused, and collaborative environment with a cohort of select students, you start with a new feature film story concept and develop it into a dynamic, compelling, market-ready screenplay in 9 months.

You learn how to articulate a personal vision while balancing the intuitive with the technical.

Throughout the process, your originality is encouraged as you’re guided to create complex characterizations, a powerful dynamic structure, thematic subtext, and tell your story visually.

The workshop allows for in-depth analysis of each participant’s work, along with brain-storming and problem-solving sessions.

Professional development is another key component to having a successful writing career.

Topics including forming business relationships, pitching in meetings, preparing for rejection/success, submitting to competitions and fellowships, etc., is also covered.

Lastly, you take your completed screenplay drafts and polish them to be ready to take out to agents, producers, studios, and networks.
