Encourage your students to attend School of Performing Arts screenwriting workshop

The School of Performing Arts is hosting a screenwriting workshop for your students with Los Angeles-based screenwriters, Derick and Rebecca Otto, from 1 to 4 p.m. Friday, Feb. 7 in 233 Rhatigan Student Center, Santa Fe Trail Room.

Students will learn:

  • The structural basics and elements of a feature screenplay 
  • How to construct an idea into a one to two sentence logline and develop that into a first draft 
  • The collaborative nature of writing with producers, executives and directors 
  • How to navigate the business side of the industry 

This is a good opportunity for your students to enhance their skills and understanding of screenwriting outside of their normal classes.
