Course Catalog
Screenwriting 101
CLASS UPDATE: This class will now be taught by Marissa Flaxbart.
Introductory | The basics of screenwriting, delivered in bite-size assignments. Aimed at beginners excited about dipping their toes into new waters, this class will examine screenplay format, visual storytelling, dialogue, structure, and how exactly a script serves as a blueprint for the filmmaking process. Throughout the course, students will generate material to be workshopped in the style of a writers’ room, with student work read aloud and critiqued in class.
Beginning Fall 2021, we will be adding select in-person classes back to our course catalog. The majority of our classes will still be offered via Zoom.
If a class says IN-PERSON in its title, it will take place in person at our permanent home in Seattle.
If a class says ASYNCHRONOUS in its title, it will take place on Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform.
If a class does not have a marker after its title, it will take place via Zoom.
