Screenwriting Workshop: or How I Learned to Stop Waiting and Write a Screenplay
Taught by John Duffy & Dani Gonzales
Ages 14-18, 10 students
Tuesdays: July 7, 14, and 21, 2009 (three sessions): 5-7pm
Everyone has had a million dollar idea for a movie! In this workshop, you can learn how to turn that idea into a real, living screenplay! Explore the art of writing for the screen and learn the basics of formatting, three-act structure, character formulation, and story development for any genre. Create your own world, fill it with wacky characters, and send them on an epic journey where anything goes in this stellar workshop.
John Duffy likes to write. He considers himself good at it, regardless of what the publishing world and people who have read his work think. He finds writing bios about himself difficult, because he wants to be funny, but is scared that people will not understand his humor, and will end up offended somehow. John is a pretty nice fellow though, and he has all of his shots.
Dani Gonzales has loved filmmaking since she was old enough to press record on a video camera. She graduated this year from the University of Michigan’s Screen Arts and Culture program where she wrote a feature length film, and starred in, produced, and directed photography for many short films. She really likes wearing cowboy boots, would like to own an English Bulldog someday, and wouldn’t mind if people traded in their cars and rode dinosaurs instead.
