SW 633 - Writing Workshop III - Feature Film Screenwriting

Credits: 4 credits
The advent of online video streaming production companies, along with the regeneration of cable movies and miniseries, have opened up exciting new avenues for long-form writing. Working from step outlines developed in Residency III, students write the first draft of a feature-length screenplay. They are also responsible for writing critical analyses of each other’s work and engaging in discussion of genre, aesthetics, craft, and form. Students are expected to understand potential markets and venues for their work. This workshop has three components: independent writing and reading, asynchronous and synchronous group workshops and peer critiques, and advisory meetings.
