You will learn to crystallize the story and excise extraneous elements. Film clips, lectures and writing exercises are incorporated into daily workshops emphasizing all aspects of craft including narrative point of view, character analysis, and scene structure. Designed for both screenwriters and filmmakers, this unique program invites both narrative features and character-driven documentaries. Our goal is to assist writers to improve their craft and thus move them closer to production. Limited financial aid available. Deadline to Apply: May 1. These workshops are made possible with a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, the LEF Foundation, and the Academy Foundation of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. http://www.squawvalleywriters.org/swriter_ws.htm
