This will be the FINAL time I am teaching this class in this format! Starting in the Fall I will be launching my 12 week feature writing program.
This will be a lecture-driven masterclass where I walk through the full outlining process in a more focused, high density way.
I have taught a version of this class for over six years, formulating a logical yet intuitive movement through creating compelling characters, building foundational story elements and finding the meaning within your film. Start with a rough idea in any form and end with a full outline and vision of what your film wants to be.
The class is built for writers to sit and actively write and create during the session. Through a series of lectures, exercises and prompted free-writing sessions, I guide writers through the core concepts of feature films whilst focusing primarily on creating characters and circumstances that feel real and compelling. It is built on intuition and creating space for your idea to show up while you are actively writing every idea down as they continue to show up in various forms.
I believe the compulsion to create stories comes from the deepest parts of our human psyche and the desire to create a story is our search for meaning in this world and I consider it a gift to be able to help other people find the story they want to tell. No matter the tone or genre of your film, it is your inner life expressing itself outward and in this class we move through the creation of character and story as a profound yet playful experience of the creative process and meditation on the experience of transformation.
***Included in the class is a weekly office hour where students can ask questions and get clarity on their work.
