Join us this summer for our Screenwriting Workshops! Janice Rogers (author and international writing teacher) and Kevin Miller (Hollywood screenwriter) will help teach you how to write gripping plots and unforgettable characters, as well as introduce you to the unique requirements of film genres such as thrillers, comedy, docudrama, and writing for TV and the internet. 

Visual communication always starts with a script. So, veteran teachers will work with you one-on-one and in critique groups to develop screenplays.  We will help you write for the cause of missions, address social and justice issues, and provide redemptive entertainment.  Further film projects and internships are possible after completing this course.

If you have a passion to communicate through film, these workshops are for you. You may attend one or more weeks as a workshop student.
