What happens when a poem steps off the page and onto the screen? In this workshop, you’ll learn the techniques and mechanics of screenwriting by turning a favorite poem into a short script. Bring three poems you love (no advance submission required) and choose one to transform into a screenplay for a short film. You’ll learn how to shape material that originated elsewhere, developing the collaborative skills essential to film and television, as you build an outline and begin drafting your short in proper screenplay format.
