SCRIPTWRITING: WHAT NOT TO WRITE

This workshop is a two-part affair, featuring story editor Elke Town. The first part is an examination of the elements that go into the making of a successful feature film: structure, character, tone, theme, dialogue, pacing, and much more. The second part will be run as a Master Class in which two teams (or writers) will work one-on-one with Elke to develop an existing or new project into a feature film.
