This introductory workshop is for those that are curious about screenwriting but have no idea where to start, or multi-disciplinary practitioners interested in foraying into the movie world from other art forms – people with all levels of screenwriting experience (including none!) are welcome.

Experienced screenwriter, director and First Nations Executive at Screenwest Perun Bonser will take you through the following in this 3-hour workshop at Centre for Stories:

• Why you write and messages you want to share with the world;
• Writing for the screen – how to write visually;
• Plot and story structure – understanding the traditional 3 act story structure;
• Developing your characters and their story arc – emotional plotting;
• Practice writing and formatting a screenplay.

This workshop is suitable for those interested in writing for both drama and documentary films.
