Overview
What you will study
Late night in a dark apartment on the east side of nowhere. Cheap neon pours in through the half-opened window. Slow zoom in on a student hunched over a keyboard, trembling with anticipation. If that sounds like your kind of movie, this could be the start of something great. In this Screenwriting course offered by Concordia University Montréal , you'll critique your own work and that of others and you'll learn about the business of screenwriting: how to pitch, how to get an agent and how to develop your story once it's sold. By the end of this course, they'll be rolling the credits and you'll be thanking your instructor and your fellow writers.
