So you have an idea that would make a great movie but have no idea how to get started? Writing a screenplay is very different from writing a novel or short story, with unique structure rules. Sign up for this two night seminar presented by HC Media’s own Matt Belfiore.
Matt placed in the 2009 semifinals of the PAGE International Screenwriting Awards, and in the quarterfinals of the 2010 BlueCat Screenplay Competition with his original screenplay, “Alamo Records”. During this short course, you’ll learn about motion picture three act structure, character development, writing good dialogue, submitting query letters to agents and producers, what to do and not to do, and a whole plethora of screenwriting tips and tricks.
This course is free and open to HC Media members. Enrollment is limited to 6 people. To register, e-mail Matt at mbelfiore@haverhillcommunitytv.org or call 978-372-8070.
