Have a screenplay or idea you want to develop? I’m conducting a 4-week Screenwriting Development class at Raindance Berlin.

The class is Wednesday evenings starting November 29. To register go do https://www.raindance.org/courses/63916/

What will the course cover?

Over the course of 4 weeks I will provide you with the framework, constructive feedback and encouragement you need to put pen to paper and develop or complete your story. The course will cover the following topics:

  • Ideas: techniques to use to generate, flesh out & develop ideas
  • The importance of loglines, concept statements, outlines
  • Theme & Tone: Consistency of theme and tone is vital
  • Conflict: Without conflict there is no story
  • Characterization: Creating memorable characters & exploring subtext
  • Structure: Building structure & texture in the world of your film
  • Format: Correctly formatting your screenplay
  • Visual Storytelling: Using visual storytelling & creating scenes that sizzle
  • Dialogue: Writing compelling dialogue & giving characters a unique voice
  • Rewrite: When to start the rewrite and what comes next
