If there's one genre that's going to do something new and revolutionary, it's probably scifi. Scifi is such an exciting genre with so much potential, but wrangling the world, the science, characters and theme into a coherent narrative is no easy task. That's why we're here with this four week class to guide you through the development process of your next scifi film!
Limited to only 5 writers, this 4 week class with producer Ryan Stayton will take you through the development process and get set up for completing the opening pages of your script. Walk away with a solid outline, developed characters, and the opening pages of your scifi movie.
This Four Week Class Will Cover:
- Structure
- Character development
- World and tone
- Feedback on your outline and pages
