We are proud to announce Script to Screen - A NEW 9 week directors initiative for writers with a desire to master the craft of directing.
You will gain a complete understanding of how every choice a director makes shapes the story. From framing a shot to guiding performances; pacing a scene to crafting the emotional rhythm of a film. With the support of award-winning filmmakers, participants will gain insight into the collaborative process, learn to think visually, and discover how to translate the nuances of dialogue, character, and theme into cinematic moments that resonate on screen.
Script to Screen will provide a hands-on opportunity to explore the full journey of storytelling.
