How to Write a Screenplay

Storytelling takes many forms–in books, poems, video games, plays, and movies. We show you how to tell a story for a movie, and how to write a movie yourself! This course will teach you all the basics of storytelling in the movies, and the tools and techniques to write a story for the screen. This is a great workshop for new ways to teach literature and storytelling!

What to Expect in a Workshop

Each one-hour workshop is a combination of lectures and hands-on activities. It is recommended no more than one class (20-30 students) per reservation to get the full benefits of a workshop.

If you want your entire grade level to participate in a workshop or you have any questions about the workshops, dates, and times they are available, please contact the Education department at edu@utahfilmcenter.org.
