Description
Ready to Write a Horror or Thriller Script?
Join Conor for a four-week intensive crash course on how to write his favorite genres: horror and thrillers! We will dive into plot archetypes, worldbuilding, monster design and thriller premises. Bring your horror or thriller ideas and loglines! We will meet weekly on Saturdays 12-2pm PDT to workshop your concepts during the bootcamp, as you develop your own scare sequences, suspenseful scenes and mind-blowing twists.
By the end of this class you will have a detailed outline, and you’ll be ready to begin writing your horror/thriller feature screenplay or TV pilot.
