Dive into screenwriting in this seven-week class exploring on the core elements of storytelling: character, conflict, and climax. This class breaks down the essentials of a compelling script, exploring how to craft memorable characters, create dynamic conflict, and build tension to a powerful climax. You'll have the chance to develop your ideas from concept to outline, learn to shape story arcs, and write scenes that captivate readers. Through hands-on exercises, in-depth feedback, and industry insights, the instructor will guide aspiring screenwriters in transforming raw ideas into structured, engaging screenplays. The class is taught by award-winning filmmaker and screenwriter Cleve Lamison. All levels welcome—bring your story to life!
