Honeycomb Creative Works seek applications for Screen Story Development Workshop
19 Mar 2015 : Seán Brosnan
Workshops will take place in LYIT in April
Applications are being sought for a screen story development workshop in April 2015 in Letterkenny.

This is a four-week masterclass being delivered on the evenings of 9th, 16th, 23rd, 30th of April 2015 from 6.30pm - 9.30pm at Letterkenny Institute. As places are limited to 20, applications will be assessed by a panel and places awarded.

These classes are designed for people who want to turn their idea into a marketable screenplay or television treatment. Attendees will learn all about the pitching process and will:

  • Learn standard story structure for feature film, television and documentary
  • Identify the basic qualifications of marketable stories that appeal to broad audiences
  • Evolve a simple idea into a story treatment
  • Work in story teams to resolve story problems, develop interesting characters, and evolve a story into a full script outline
  • Craft powerful and engaging loglines and synopses
  • Pitch - explore various ways to effectively interest people in your story
  • Begin the process of writing a screenplay - basics of the craft: dialogue, action, visual description, pacing, and more

    By the end of the class, you will have taken a story idea from rough form to a finished five-page treatment with polished logline and short synopsis, and will have worked with writing teams on the development of other stories. You will also have gotten a head start on writing your screenplay or television treatment and will gain experience working on collaborative story teams and working with direction, and will be armed with all the tools necessary to pitch your story in a professional marketplace.

    This masterclass will be delivered by Social Construct Media's Creative Director Zak Kilberg and Head of Development Iz Web. Social Construct is a Sundance award winning production company, whose previous film projects have been distributed internationally by Lionsgate, HBO, IFC, Tribeca Film and others.

    Applicants are urged to apply now as places are limited. To apply, click on Register Online at: http://thehoneycomb.net/events/screen-story-development-masterclass and also send a personal summary statement (or short CV) and a one page sample treatment or script idea to honeycomb@dkit.ie. These will be treated in the strictest of confidence.
