15-Week Online Screenplay Rewrite Workshop

Overview

In this 15-week screenplay editing class, students learn the basic tools of rewriting a screenplay. How do you take notes? How do you look for the intent behind a note? How do you deal with a note that you disagree with? How do you edit a screenplay, in collaboration and independently? How do you work with producers, directors and development execs? Students present a completed screenplay — either one they’ve written before this class, or one written in our online Screenplay Workshop — and collect notes from the instructor and class which they will incorporate throughout the screenplay editing process. In the first half of the class, students build a rewrite blueprint: a plan to address the notes in a collaborative manner while still maintaining their own artistic vision. Students spend the rest of the class rewriting their script, adjusting their blueprint as they go to reflect the lessons they’ve learned along the way. Screenplay rewriting is itself an art, and at the end of the class, students will have completed a rewrite of their script.
