How to Write a Screenplay (Virtual)

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!

What to Expect in a Workshop

Each one-hour workshop is a combination of lectures and hands-on activities. It is recommended no more than one class  per reservation to get the full benefits of a workshop.

If you want your entire grade level to participate in a workshop or you have any questions about the workshops, dates, and times they are available, please contact the Education department at edu@utahfilmcenter.org – we are happy to coordinate custom time blocks that align with your bell schedule. Schools booking the entire day can provide back-to-back times in the notes section of the request.

For school districts not listed, in-person workshop requests can be arranged. We recommend  that your entire grade books or that multiple workshops are booked for the day.
