Utah Film Center has moved! Sign up for our newsletter for exciting updates.
Storytelling takes many forms–in books, poems, video games, plays, and movies. We show you how to tell a story for a movie, and how to write a movie yourself! This course will teach you all the basics of storytelling in the movies, and the tools and techniques to write a story for the screen. This is a great workshop for new ways to teach literature and storytelling!
Each 60-minute workshop includes a combination of lecture and hands-on activities. To ensure the best experience, we recommend limiting reservations to one class per workshop (up to 30 students). On the day of your workshop, the Teaching Artist will check-in at the front office before navigating to your classroom. The Teaching Artist will arrive 10-15 minutes before the workshop is scheduled to begin, and will quietly set up any needed equipment before beginning their presentation.
If you would like your entire grade level to participate in a workshop, or if you would like to request a date/time or location not listed in the booking calendar, please contact the Media Education Department at edu@utahfilmcenter.org. We love teaching multiple workshops when visiting your school and we are happy to arrange custom times that better-align with your bell schedule!
This workshop can be facilitated virtually via Zoom. If you would like to schedule a live-virtual “How To Write a Screenplay” workshop, click here.
