Los Angeles - February 12 – April 1, 2008

Syd Field is back! For the first time in almost 10 years, the legendary "guru of all screenwriters," according to CNN, is conducting a brand new screenwriting workshop for a limited number of participants.

This intense 7-Week Screenwriting Workshop (to be held in Los Angeles) meets one night each week from 7:30PM to 10:30PM.

This individual, hands-on screenwriting workshop features interactive discussions, illustrations from Academy Award winning films, and personal one-on-one evaluations of the screenwriting assignments. The purpose of this course is to "expand, enlarge and broaden your knowledge, comprehension, and technique of the screenplay and the art and craft of screenwriting."

In the first class, each participant brings a three sentence idea story line which focuses on action and character. The first four weeks of the course are spent preparing this idea, and the last three sessions are spent completing Act I of the screenplay. Applicants must have written at least one screenplay.
