Founders Workshop
Screenwriting for the Children's and Young-Adult Audience
Whether you are writing an original screenplay or have a novel that would make a terrific movie, this workshop is designed for the screenwriter in you. David Paterson, screenwriter for Disney’s Bridge to Terabithia; Maureen Green from Script magazine; and Shelly Mellott with Final Draft, Inc., will introduce you to the craft of screenwriting, from storytelling to structure to script formatting. You’ll learn the differences between narrative prose and screenwriting, scene construction, and what it takes to create larger-than-life characters. Additionally, attendees will explore the opportunities for writers outside of traditional media.
