15-Week Online Screenplay Workshop

Learn How To Write a Screenplay at NYFA

The 15-Week Online Screenplay Workshop offers students the opportunity to develop and complete their feature film screenplay, working in a live, interactive creative environment. Through hands-on learning, discussion with their peers, and mentorship from our experienced faculty, students work on their scripts and learn how to give and receive feedback, an important skill set for screenplay development and for screenplay writing.

To attend this workshop, students must have completed our 15-Week Online Screenplay Story & Structure Workshop prerequisite or submit a full-length treatment and beat sheet with their application.

Workshop DescriptionWorkshop Name: 15-Week Online Screenplay Workshop

Prerequisite: 15-Week Online Screenplay Story and Structure Workshop (or submission of full-length treatment and beat sheet)

In our 15-Week Online Screenplay Workshop, students will use a full treatment and beat sheet to develop their first script. Many students use the idea they started writing in our 15-Week Online Screenplay Story and Structure Workshop. During the first few weeks of this screenplay workshop, students either break this idea into beats or revise their beats based on the class’ feedback, an essential step to developing their script. At the end of the online workshop, many students leave with the first draft of a feature film screenplay.

After successfully completing this workshop, students may apply for our 15-Week Online Screenplay Rewrite Workshop, where they will refine and polish their screenplay under the guidance and mentorship of our experienced faculty of Screenwriters.
