4-Week: Screenplay Lab—The Writing Before the Writing

This idea-to-outline screenwriting course is designed to help you build the foundation of a compelling, original screenplay. Whether you’re starting from scratch or refining a concept that’s been simmering for years, this lab guides you through the essential (and often skipped) creative groundwork: a tight logline, a clear and pitchable premise, and a fully fleshed-out long-form treatment. Each session includes craft discussions, hands-on writing time, instructor feedback on your evolving material, and peer-to-peer sharing in a supportive, story-first environment. Open to writers of all levels, genres, and ambitions! Bring your ideas—and leave with a blueprint for your next great screenplay.
