Short Film Writing Course Level 1

The Market Theatre Laboratory and TsaMmu offers a part-time short film writing Course. This course combines technical and creative aspects of screenwriting. Part one covers software, formatting, and understanding the filmmaking process. Part two focuses on story design, structure, pitching, and scriptwriting.
You'll learn to craft compelling scripts and effectively communicate your vision to the filmmaking team.

This part-time introductory course focuses on writing techniques specifically for short film. There will be 12 3-hour sessions on Saturday mornings (note: depending on the size of the group, some will take the course on Saturday afternoons instead). The course begins on 25 January 2025 – 13 April 2025. Attendance in all sessions is required to successfully complete the course.
