This course is designed as an introduction to screenwriting for those who have limited experience in the medium, and as a refresher for those who have more advanced experience. The workshop will be taught by writer Terry Kay, who is a regional Emmy winner for his teleplay, Run Down the Rabbit, and whose background includes eight years as a film reviewer/essayist with The Atlanta Journal. In addition, Kay has written for the television series, In the Heat of the Night, and has worked on screenplays with such directors as Taylor Hackford (Officer and a Gentleman). He has had three of his novels translated into Hallmark Hall of Fame movies -- To Dance with the White Dog, The Runaway, and The Valley of Light.
The primary reference for the course will be from writer-teacher Syd Field, who is considered the guru of screenwriting technique. In addition, resource material will be taken from Paul Argentini's Elements of Style for Screenwriters. Sessions will cover such topics as: Definition of Acts; plot points; character; treatment; use of dialogue; understanding cubism in screenwriting, and staying-on-point.
Workshop fee $140 OCAF Members, $150 Non-Members, $75 Students. Advance registration is recommended as space is limited. For more information call (706) 769-4565 or email, info@ocaf.com. Oconee Cultural Arts Foundation, 34 School Street, Watkinsville GA.
