A brilliant writer knows how to create exciting scenes in a manner that captivates both script readers and viewers. Improvisation techniques can enhance that creativity, leading to fresh material for comedic and dramatic stories and everything in between. In this two-day workshop, writers participate in guided team exercises (including improv games) and experiment with various practical approaches to produce ideas that could help build a script. The collaborative environment not only generates content but can also enhance self-confidence. Overnight, you write a couple of new pages, and the next day you see a script-in-hand staged reading of your improv-inspired scene.

Transitioning from the written word to a cinematic masterpiece requires a well-structured roadmap. In this immersive course, we will guide you through the intricate art of creative producing, equipping you with the strategies needed to bring your independent fiction film to life. Whether you are in the development, pre-production, or production phase, our problem-solving approach will empower you to navigate the challenges and turn your vision into a compelling reality that captivates both investors and audiences.

The Screenwriting Series is an online course for writers who are new to screenwriting. The series, taught by Kathy Berardi, an independent writer-producer and UCLA MFA Screenwriting alum, embraces the philosophy of learning by doing.
