The Screenwriting Program is an intensive week-long program which focuses on individual attention and work-in-progress, by award-winning writers and writer/directors. You will learn to crystallize the story and excise extraneous elements. Film clips, lectures and writing exercises are incorporated into daily workshops emphasizing all aspects of craft including narrative point of view, character analysis, and scene structure. Designed for both screenwriters and filmmakers, this unique program invites both narrative features and character-driven documentaries. Our goal is to assist writers to improve their craft and thus move them closer to production.

Space is limited to 25 participants. Tuition is $760.00, which includes 6 evening meals; a limited amount of financial aid is available. Admissions are based on the quality of submissions.
