Irv Bauer focuses on the craft of screenwriting so that the beginning writer or producer can articulate his or her work in full film form with confidence. In these ten sessions, limited to 5 candidates, you will learn a simple process that takes you incrementally through the steps in developing your screenplay. Organizing your material, flushing out character, the story and the logic of telling a story in a visual medium. You learn the core of the screenwriting process as well as how the industry works from the screenwriter’s POV. A good script is the key to a contained budget.

Whether you are a beginning writer or producer or experienced, mastering the narrative visual form required for the screen is a challenge. Developing a character for film requires different responsibilities as does dialogue. Finding the screen story and shaping it visually are the keys to writing for film.
