Advanced Screenwriting Workshop

This one-day workshop is for screenwriters who already know the basics of screenwriting and want to develop more advanced skills. The class will include advanced dialog development and techniques to avoid exposition. Students can participate in writing exercises in class and may share their writing for critique by fellow students and the instructor. Some exercises include: writing powerful opening scenes, introducing protagonists and antagonists by presenting the essence of the character and creating organic and multidimensional characters. Film clips will be shown as examples. This workshop is recommended for students who have either completed the Beginning Screenwriting Workshop or have completed two screenplays.

Feedback from a recent participant:
"... "after taking Sharon Cobb's Intro to Screenwriting class this summer, she referred me to a producer in need of a screenwriter. He and I met over the weekend and came to an agreement so the short of it is, I have a paid writing assignment after being in Sharon's phenomenal class!!"
