Built on the studio development model, this live, instructor-led program teaches writers how to approach their feature scripts with professional structure and process — from idea to outline. Designed for newbie to emerging writers, as well as professionals who need a strong refresh on story fundamentals, The Academy Live focuses on building scripts the way the industry reads them.
