In this crash course, participants learn step by step how an idea is turned into a screenplay and ultimately into a film.
The course is aimed at anyone interested in film who wants to learn the basics of screenwriting and perhaps write a screenplay themselves, regardless of age and previous experience.

The following course content is taught in a practical manner: structure and dramaturgy; genres; short vs. feature films; character development; writing dialogue; synopsis, exposé, and treatment; marketing and pitching.

Using film examples and screenplay analyses, we deepen our understanding of film and dramaturgy, and in exercises and feedback rounds we explore writing styles and preferences.
