Whether you’re thinking about it or you’ve got a couple under your belt, this workshop is a unique opportunity for emerging and professional and writers to develop new skills. Women in Film and Television–Atlantic and the Island Media Arts Coop (IMAC) are jointly sponsoring two days of lectures and conversation with Hollywood producer, director, author, Bill Boyle, on the craft of writing the picture perfect screenplay. This workshop is an extension of the PEI Screenwriters’ Bootcamp.
Participants can choose to attend one or both days, as content of day one will reveal the most basic and fundamental truths about cinema and a unique approach to writing for film; and day two will include a recap of day one along with an exploitation of the visual aspects of story and ways to enhance the overall storytelling experience as well as a question and answer session on everything from how to write the kinetic logline to how to sell your script.
Interview by Sarah Coleman
A misconception about WIFT-AT’s annual Women Making Waves conference is that it’s only for women. Sometimes in the excitement of preparing for the conference, the message that everyone with a passion for arts & media is welcome gets lost. With so many passionate attendees that come back every year, word of mouth helps WMW connect with some brilliant industry people it might otherwise not have.
