The ESSENTIALS Workshop

April 8 & 9 and 15 & 16
7:00 PM – 10:00 PM ET on Zoom
Limited to 8 participants and 8 observers

This 12-hour intensive will transform your understanding of filmed stories: how they are written and shot, how an audience receives a visual narrative, and how to apply that knowledge to your work onscreen.

What We’ll Explore

  • Short, filmed exercises as building blocks to unlock truthful behavior that reads onscreen

  • Viewing film clips to deepen our understanding of visual grammar

  • Examining how dialogue reveals or obscures the deeper truth of the character

  • Learning to read screenplay texts as blueprints for shooting

Cost: $425 for participants, $295 for observers
Some scholarship support available
