The Screenwriter’s Genre Mapping
Workshop Series
This new series of workshops is intended for screenwriters and writers in
all mediums in order to give them a solid backing in the common and most
necessary story, structure and character elements in different genres.
Attendees of the workshops are asked to watch a set of films before the meeting so that the group can discuss what common elements made the films successful. After the workshop, writers are encouraged to write a script in the genre that was analyzed.
Each workshop will be facilitated by an expert in the genre, and will often feature
a
guest celebrity presenter with whom the attendees can attend lunch and listen
to their
experiences.
The workshops are free. There will usually be an optional $10 lunch at a nearby
restaurant.
For more
information, contact IDFG president:
Bruce Heppner-Elgin or
sign up on the Iowa
Filmmaker boards. Free registration is required in order to gain access
to
the
boards.
