We connect with ourselves and the world around us through story. And today, film is perhaps our most important storytelling medium. In this class, we’ll learn how to shape narratives for the screen. Through a series of creative activities, the class will help you find your innate sense of narrative—your unique voice—and introduce you to the craft of narrative expression for fictional screen media.

You will learn the fundamentals of screenplay formatting, writing, and theory. Alongside screenings and discussions that will demystify visual storytelling, you will also write your own short screenplay. No prior writing skills are required, just bring yourself and the stories you carry with you.

Let’s write together!

The Fine Print:

Gift certificates may only be redeemed at the full tuition tier.

SLIDING SCALE TUITION

Full tuition is the cost per-student of running the class. If you choose a tier below full tuition, you are receiving a discount. If you choose to make a donation in addition to full tuition, you are helping to cover the cost for students who are not able to pay the full amount.

The mid-level tier is a discounted rate for people whose household income is at or above living wage but who have limited discretionary income. 

The low-level tier and the full-scholarship tier are for people whose household income is below living wage or who need extra assistance to meet their needs.

SCHOLARSHIPS

Through our fundraising efforts, we are able to offer three full scholarships per class. The full-scholarship tier is a nonrefundable offering. Each student may only take one full-scholarship class at a time. Because our scholarship funding is limited, if a student selects multiple overlapping classes at the full-scholarship level, they will be disenrolled from all classes. 

All sliding-scale and scholarship needs are self-assessed, and we will never request or require proof of need.

Please see our FAQ for more information, including installment plans, refund policy, and sick and inclement weather policy.
