THE BLUECAT SCREENWRITING WORKSHOP COMES TO NYC!

In keeping with its mission to serve the undiscovered screenwriter, the Bluecat Screenwriting Competition offers screenwriting workshops to directly support the writers of our community in a personal, focused setting.

Led by Gordy Hoffman, the BlueCat workshops focus on the written work of the writers, examining their immediate story concerns and overall screenwriting craft. All technical, commercial and artistic aspects of screenwriting are addressed.

The TEN PAGE WORKSHOP has participants submitting ten pages from an existing script or work-in-progress. We review all elements of story on display in the ten pages, along with the technical aspects of effective screenwriting as craft. All discussions eventually lead to an analysis of the entire screenplay arc. Workshop is limited to 10 and runs all day.

Both the new and experienced screenwriter can participate. We welcome all levels of experience!

Cost: $145

Sept 6th, 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
