Students will learn how to create a screenplay for feature films or TV from concept through sale.
What you'll learn
It starts with an idea, but how do you get it to a project for sale? This course walks the student through developing their ideas/concepts into a properly formatted script. What works? Structure? Writing to the budget and hitting all the benchmarks to get your script past the readers and coverage screeners to get in front of the right person to get it made. We will examine scripts that work, scripts that don't and the common mistakes of freshman writers that block their work from getting into the proper hands. I will also offer one on one courses that read and give feedback on a student's completed script, providing professional coverage of that project to assist in eventual sale.
This class is perfect for
Students with an idea or a draft that want to turn it into a full length script for eventual sale or representation; as well as students looking for professional script coverage from an industry professional with almost two decades of experience.
Smith’s reputation for high-quality motion pictures on
moderate budgets has resulted in solid industry
affiliations and partnerships.
From development to post production, his partnership
with production company, Everything’s Fire allows
a “soup to nuts” ability through legal delivery.
While horror has been his base, Smith is moving into
other genres. With 2018’s action-comedy, Garlic and
Gunpowder with an all-star cast featuring Michael
Madsen, Vivica A. Fox, Judy Tenuta and James Duval
he has his 80s teen true comedy, Memoirs of a Class
President in development with Paramount Pictures
and Netflix.
His successful virtual reality short spin-off of his
Corey Feldman cult classic, 6 Degrees of Hell was
acquired by Samsung , starring A Nightmare on Elm
Street horror icon, Amanda Wyss.
With a solid team of producers well-versed in state tax
credits and rebates, top-end directors of photography
and some of the best post-production figures on both
coasts for sound, music, digital and makeup effects;
Smith is able to move efficiently in getting a film into
and through production
What to bring
