Screenwriting workshop
Aspirant writers who want to wave their creative wand and turn words into action are invited to join The Writing Studio's Weekend Workshop.
The practical From Page to Screen workshop gives writers a hands-on opportunity to turn their ideas into a story outline, write a pivotal scene from their outline, and pitch their concepts to a group of professional directors and actors. The directors will step on board as team leaders and guide the writers of the most provocative concepts through the process of selecting actors from the group to bring the scene to life. The scenes will then be rehearsed, blocked and filmed. All this in one weekend!
During the workshop the writers will be working with trainer Daniel Dercksen, who will guide them through the process of conceptualising ideas, writing story outlines that sizzle, and then mastering the art of card outlines.
It is a practical workshop where writers write and get a unique opportunity of seeing their thoughts and words in action.
It is also an opportunity for writers to explore their talent as a director, actor or producer and ground their careers as proudly South African storymakers.
The workshop takes place from 9am until 6pm on both days at The Film Factory in Industrial Park, Strijdompark.
