Richmond Young Writers

Over the course of a three hour workshop, students will be taught the technical form and rules of screenwriting, as well as the story elements of a feature film. Students will demonstrate this knowledge by writing a one scene screenplay, encompassing the elements of a full screenplay including three act structure, conflict and resolution, and character growth. Screenplays will come from a variety of prompts that encourage students to write about conflicts and challenges they have overcome in their own lives.
