In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of screenwriting, explore different approaches to writing, and understand the key elements of a screenplay. We will examine common mistakes, debunk myths in the craft, highlight practices that work (and those that don’t), and develop skills to help you see how a story can be made stronger.

The course is divided into two parts, with independent work on your texts scheduled between sessions.
