Screenwriting + Film Course
06–06–25
06-07-25 This is a course in the development, writing, and delivery of one sequence (<20 script pgs) + an outline of a feature screenplay. The class will be in two parts : lesson & laboratory — both intended to inspire the natural artistic instinct, curiosity & desire in you as you develop your film. Each week we will focus on an element of story : How do you go from seeds & ideas — to weaving a story — to writing a cinematic script ? Guided by lessons, writing prompts, film viewings (curated specifically for each week’s element), the course will give you room to explore, imagine, and write. Here, you will learn craft and develop your screenwriting intuition.

SUMMER
Directing Course : Short Film Exquisite Corpse
08–01–25 How do you go from script to screen ? This is a filmmaking course that will guide you as you make a short film. Each week we will dive into an element of filmmaking : finding the essence of your story, working with actors and non-actors, cinematography as alchemy, translating emotional rhythm through editing and more. You will write a screenplay, create a shot list, direct a two-day shoot, and bring your short film to life. The course will end with a screening of an Exquisite Corpse : a string of short films made by you (screening date TBD together in class).

SUMMER
Screenwriting + Film Lab
06–08–25This Lab is a space open to you after completing the Screenwriting Course. More than a traditional writing workshop, this is a communal generative force. We meet once a week to share, give and take notes, develop and make our films. You are welcome to continue writing the screenplay you began in the course or bring in other material (rough cuts, audition tapes, treatments, pitch decks, anything you’d like fresh eyes on) or simply ignite a creative conversation about something on your mind, in your chest...

Apply by sending us a little about the project/material you want to bring in.
