Therapeutic ApproachesTV/Film Screenwriting Classes
Therapy doesn’t have to be limited to sitting across from a therapist and talking through what’s bothering you. Many people find alternatives to therapy, such as yoga, writing, exercising, and hiking, to be therapeutic and help them work through their vices. Although our TV/Film script writing classes are not therapy, they are designed to be therapeutic in nature.
We teach individuals how to embrace their creativity and story-telling abilities and grow in their confidence to share their art. Our classes might be a great fit for you if you’ve always wanted to learn to write scripts but don’t want to make it a career, want to have a writing career, or already know how to write and want to be around like minded people. We also provide a cohort experience option that creates a short film for YouTube with our cohort writers. We use methods taught in The Screenwriter’s Bible by David Trottier.
Our focus is more on the therapeutic side of storytelling instead of meeting Hollywood/industry standards.
What to Know
Our classes are community-based, and built around a six-month window. However, the six-month window is for those that want to be apart of a cohort. Individuals that are dropping in for the Monthly Sessions are not required to participate for the full six months. In each class, we’ll explore
storytelling techniques from The Screenwriter’s Bible by David Trottier
write short scripts,
do warm-up practices,
discuss our vices and virtues around writing,
listen to feedback on writing,
character and script breakdown
Cohort Experience
Our cohort experience is a six-month program that results in the production of a short film that will be uploaded to YouTube. You will receive writing credit for this film. After the completion the film, we’ll watch it together, and give feedback on the story. Throughout the program, you’ll prepare for this short film by writing various story arches, exploring your personal life (privately if desired), participating in writer’s room, and meeting with the actors once a month to learn more about where you can take the short film. Writers cannot miss more than two sessions in order to be credited in the short film.
