yourself the most inspiring weekend a writer can have!
"I've been consulting with GiGi New on a screenplay
which was stalled for years and now is moving. She's a positive critic who
identifies strengths in a piece and helps overcome the corrosive self-doubt
that writers struggle with. Writing will always be a solitary line of work but
GiGi makes it less so. And she laughs a lot, which is good.”
Garrison Keillor ~ “A Prairie Home Companion”

DAY: SCREENPLAY IMMERSION CLASS
“Everyone has a great story in them.”
…. I
was told by Alli Shearmur, President of Motion Picture Production for
Lionsgate. And guess what? It’s true.
Whether
your idea is based on a true story, a personal experience or something born out
of your imagination…. it deserves to be put down on the page.
But
how do we do it? How does the idea go from being an original thought, to being
realized?
Spend
3 days with me and we will unlock the answers together.
About the class: We will spend our time discussing what makes
for a strong idea and screenplay. The class will entail elements such as:
- Screenplay Format
- The World of the Story
- Character Arcs
- Story Arcs
- Dialogue
- The importance of the first page
- Tone, Theme, Point of View
- Stakes
- Genre
- Writing exercise… putting pen to paper
- Marketplace
- Discussing the pros and cons of your screenplay idea
Plus
much, much more!
Who is the class for?: All levels… from
beginners to seasoned professionals
