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.
