New Course WRITING FEMALE CENTERED FILMS

In this six week course explore your feature film ideas. Responding to recent Screen Ireland initiatives to encourage female writers (and directors) to tell female centered stories this course will look at writing stories for and about women.

The course will explore the fundamental craft of writing feature film. The elements to consider to set your project apart, help find your voice as a screenwriter and tap into the passion you need to get your story on the page and onto the screen.

Over the course you will have ongoing opportunites to pitch your idea to the class for feedback and will learn how to write a one page pitch. In addition Eilish will provide feedback on your idea, characters and story structure via email throughout the course.

In six three hour sessions Eilish will look at elements common to successful feature film stories:

• Cinematic scale.

• The arc of transformation.
