You’ve written scripts. You’ve taken the classes. You’ve chased fellowships, labs, contests, and opportunities. Maybe you’ve worked in production, development, or post. And yet, you still feel like you’re missing the "one thing" that matters most: a writing sample that truly pops and conveys your voice.

Over this online course, you’ll learn how to diagnose the most common (and fixable) issues that keep scripts from standing out, including structure, pacing, character clarity, dialogue, and tone. You’ll workshop selected pages in a supportive, high-feedback environment and leave with a clear revision plan you can actually execute.

By the end, students will:

  • Learn the most common script problems and how to spot them in their own work

  • Workshop selected pages and get specific, actionable notes

  • Strengthen structure, pacing, dialogue, and character so your voice reads clearly

  • Build a toolkit for pitching yourself for fellowships, freelance work, and staffing

  • Leave with a concrete rewrite plan for at least one sample script

Refund request must be emailed to boxoffice@atlantafilmsociety.org 7 days prior to the date of event unless specified in the event description.
