CCWC Teen Screenwriting Workshop
Are you an aspiring screenwriter or filmmaker? Do you like to write and tell stories? If so, then please join us for the 2022 CCWC Teen Screenwriting Workshop.
Led by screenwriter, filmmaker, and university professor Randi Barros, attendees will explore key elements of screenplay development, including how to write a strong plot, how to develop memorable characters, and how to use conventional screenplay structure. You can expect brainstorming sessions, hands-on writing activities, and opportunities to direct fellow participants as they act out your scenes-in-progress.
By the end of this interactive workshop, participants will have the tools they need to develop a script that can be entered into a screenplay competition or developed into a short film. The Central Coast has many contests and festivals for young screenwriters and filmmakers, and this program will help you prepare to participate in these opportunities and in the local film community at large.
In addition to the workshop led by Randi Barros, the program will also include a panel of award-winning teen screenwriters and filmmakers who will host a Q & A session about how they have developed their work and pursued involvement in the film community.
This is a great opportunity for teens to develop their writing and storytelling skills while also meeting other teens who share their interests.
Registration includes the Teen Screenwriting Workshop, the Panel Discussion, and Refreshments.
