Scriptwriting is an essential element of the creative process. During this 12 hours workshop, you will be encouraged to structure your ideas, take a personal point of view and develop your narrative style. Particular attention will be dedicated to the validity of characters and dialogues. This course immerses you in the heart of the practice while promoting your reflection. Time will also be allocated to discuss your own projects and study how to integrate these techniques into your film.

Workshop is given in French but questions may be asked in English.

You must send a page describing your draft script before March 2nd.
