Screenwriting Workshop in Los Angeles, CA

Workshops/Classes in Los Angeles, CA

In this workshop you learn the keys to the craft of screenwriting. LA is a company town and everyone has a script in their car. If you’re ambitious enough, if you are crazy enough, if you are talented enough to want to go down this road you better know what you are doing. Are you happy supplying “source material” or is it important to you to write a screenplay that is good enough to be made?

As a powerful antidote to the Hollywood meat grinder school of screenwriting Irv Bauer's workshop is indispensable. You won't find pat templates, or tired plot-by-numbers schematics, but a unique method combining the tools working writers have been utilizing for centuries, all presented in concise, easy steps. Irv helped me reclaim that sine qua non of all successful writers -- passion. Thanks Irv.
