Adapting Screenwriting into Visual Film is a two-day course designed to bridge the gap between script and screen. Taught by a professional screenwriter and an experienced writer & filmmaker, this course explores the vital transition from written screenplay to visual storytelling. Participants will gain insight into the craft of writing screenplays—learning about story shape, subtext, dialogue, character arcs, and textual economy—while also delving into how those scripts are interpreted, shaped, and reimagined through directing, cinematography, and editing. By drawing on real-world examples from film and TV, and using scripts, storyboards, and film clips, we’ll examine how a scene evolves from page to picture. This is an opportunity to see both sides of the creative process and discover how writers and directors collaborate to bring stories to life.
