Our ‘January Film Workshop’ was held on Saturday, January 22, 2021, online. The event brought professional scriptwriters and enthusiastic young scriptwriters to talk about shared challenges and how our young students can take their writing to the next stage. The workshop featured some of the renowned screenwriters in the industry, including Ms. Kate Rorick (Marvel, Cloak & Dagger), Ms. Cindy Fang (Young Rock, Fresh Off the Boat), Ms. Jeanna Noel Frazer (Hawkeye), Ms. Yael Galena (The New Wonder Years) and Ms. Rakefeta Bergel – (Short Films).

The students got a chance to interact with professional screenwriters, and they got to know about their journey in screenwriting. Our panel did their best to answer students’ queries and guided them in the best possible way they could. Practical exercises conducted by industry specialists provided students with an understanding of the importance of balancing form with creativity. Students learned about character and scene development, writing style, and rewriting in a workshop atmosphere. Our next workshop is February 19, 2022, and we will be hosting Film Screenwriters!
