Screenwriting


We're taking a screenwriting class as a way to avoid cabin fever as the cold air settles into Chicagoland. If you're asking yourself "Is that a photo of her folder from class?" You can go ahead and tell yourself yes! Inside that folder is some really good info. The class is really fun and informative, actually. So far I've learned that a movie is 1) a story of a group of people that explores a theme, 2) A collection of scenes that are individually entertaining but when linked together create a story with a central question, and 3) A mechanism to right an imbalance in some (often fictional) person's world.
