Description
Rewrites play a crucial role in the craft of screenwriting. Your first draft is often your worst, but sometimes terrible rewrites can make a bad script even worse. Too many novice screenwriters focus solely on finishing the first draft. While this is a major accomplishment, it’s only the beginning.
Mastering the art of the rewrite is essential to a screenwriter’s career prospects. In this industry, a skilled re-writer is well ahead of the crowd. Once you become highly skilled at revising and polishing your own spec scripts, your odds of breaking through increase massively. Not only will mastering this skill enhance the quality of your screenplays, but it will allow you to write many more polished scripts in a shorter amount of time.
In this live four-week intensive course, pro screenwriter Conor Kyle teaches you the organization skills, discipline, and craft techniques you need to turn your rough draft into a polished feature screenplay or TV pilot. The Rewrite Bootcamp meets weekly on Saturdays from March 12 through April 2. You’ll attend a two-hour class session each week in which we’ll walk through the entire process of analyzing and revising your script.
