Description
A one semester course open to all institute

will propose, outline and then work to complete a
first draft of an original screenplay. Along the
way students will be introduced to the basics of
working with cards, treatments, story structure,
dialogue and screenplay formatting. Length will
be determined by student experience and
capability, shorts are the emphasis, class structure can not handle features. In-class presentation and
discussion of in progress drafts is crucial. A

by doing and talking. Students are required to
purchase Final Draft screenwriting software and
have internet access to email their assignments.
