From Concept to First Draft

Tuesdays Oct 25,  Nov. 1, 8, 15, 22, 29

At Scattered Books in Chappaqua

What we will do:  From creative brain-storming techniques to high or low concept development, to outline, treatment and first draft, you will come out with a working first draft for a feature narrative screenplay, TV Pilot or short film script.

How we will do it: This workshop introduces students to utilizing techniques for story development, formatting, problem-shooting and scriptwriting. By the freedom of the unconscious mind, in a relaxed, open and receptive state, we are able to hear and create authentic, unique story. This workshops’ aim is to develop confidence in finding one’s inner voice by which to begin telling story. Then, we will introduce story components vital to story structure, write outlines, treatments and scenes, culminating into viable, completed first drafts.

What to bring: Students are invited to bring story notes, a focused mind, sense of humor, H2O, a journal and writing instruments. Tuition $300 per student, maximum 16 students. If the student wishes to take an advanced workshop, starting in Mid-October (recommended), there is a $100 discount for both. 50% Deposit required prior to class to secure spot, 50% due at time of the first class.

“The first time I saw Dead Poet’s Society and Breakfast Club, I think it was while I was a Junior at Greeley. I thought, that’s the job I wanted to do, but where do you go to write for movie school? Is that even a thing? Do movies come out of the woods or magically appear out of thin air? So, I started studying acting at the Actor’s Studio and I was reading for parts where the women’s dialogue was so unnatural or stereotyped. Women were one-dimensional and unintelligent. There was a horrible gap between the women I personally knew and the women portrayed on TV and in Film. That’s really why I started writing. To share my perspectives and find an authentic voice, not only for only women characters, but to create complex, whole, sometimes tarnished, but always genuine voices. I find no better place to write and ponder than Chappaqua, looking out into the woods by Whippoorwill Pond, sipping a freshly brewed Cappuccino from Susan Lawrence  and taking a stroll through Gedney Park. What more inspiration do you need? ”
