Is it all of /Star Wars/ in 10 minutes? Is it a simpl e /Kids in the Hall/ skit? Or is a short film its own unique art form\, a glimpse into the moments that change how we feel about ourselves and t he world we live in?\n \nIn fact\, a short can be as epic\, traditional or experimental as your imagination will allow. It can move people to be lly laughs or tears\, be all dialogue or contain no dialogue at all\, be comprised of ideas or images or a magical combination of both. It’s an endlessly mutable\, extremely shootable format that allows writers and f ilmmakers a very practical way to work on their craft /and /gain entranc e into the festival circuit.\n \nIn /Writing the Short Film Script/\, we ’ll: \n\n * Spend the morning looking at what makes a good narrative sh ort.\n We’ll watch a few short films\, discuss what makes them work a nd\n then develop a couple ideas and synopses as a class. \n * Draft a script for a 3-5 page short film of your own. \n * Share these scrip ts in a supportive environment so that you can\n walk out of the clas s with a potentially shootable project.\n \nIf you’ve written for film b efore\, come expand your ideas about what a short piece can do. If you’v e never written for production\, come learn ho easy it is to script the short film. If you’re a filmmaker\, come discover one of the best ways t o get your work out in the world as quickly as possible.\nWe’ll have fun while we work hard\, and you’ll leave with the skills (and a script) to create great short films.\n \nJackie Blain \nYellow Lab Ltd. \nScript C onsulting & Development \n www.yellowlabltd.com \nTo sign up please con tact:\n \nTara L.
