Class

Screenwriting for Teens

Welcome to the Loft's Young Writers fall program at Open Book! Join us for 3 days of writing and creativity!

Are you a teenager who wants to write your own movie, but you don't know how? This is the class for you!

Aimed at beginners, this class starts off with the fundamentals of screenwriting — how screenplays are written, their formatting, and what they look like.

From here, students will share what ideas they have and begin writing their own scripts. Throughout the course we'll cover how screenwriting structure and character works, while using film examples to reinforce those lessons.

Students will also be encouraged to bring in their own writing to receive feedback from their peers and the teaching artist.

Don't forget to add supervised lunchcare from 12-1pm with a Loft teaching artist each day: 10/16, 10/17, 10/18.

Email [email protected] at least two to three weeks in advance if you have any accessibility requests for this class. This class takes place in-person, at the Loft at Open Book. Please see the Loft’s website for the most up to date information about the Loft’s COVID policies
