Short Writing Class #1 Story and Soul

August 10th, 6 PM - 9 PM

This three week workshop led by writer and director Justice Singleton is a fundamental screenwriting workshop that highlights the importance of film, self-reflection and how the writer's personal experience can be detrimental to cinema and the storytelling process. Each workshop will involve meditation, screenwriting and theater practices that will teach participants not only about being an industry writer, but being their authentic selves. Each participant will require no screenwriting experience, but hopes to finish a short screenplay. In course #1 we will go over an introduction to writing practices, including pitching, loglines, theme, intention. Workshop will take place in person at NOVAC.
