This three-day workshop beginning Tuesday November 15th will be tutored by award-winning filmmaker Emmanuel Oberg, and is designed to enable producers, development executives and story editors to develop stories more effectively.
More specifically, participants will learn how to identify the story-type of their projects from the earliest stage possible, adjust the development process accordingly and more efficiently, resulting in more high quality screenplays.
In addition participants will be taught to expose their work to the largest possible audience, while maintaining their creative integrity.
Oberg is a screenwriter, author and script consultant with feature titles such as ‘Beast Quest’ and ‘Number9dream’ to his name, as well as several adaptation including ‘Pastworld’, which he co-write with John McKay (Crush). He launched his own company SCREENPLAY Unlimited in 2014, which is dedicated to screenwriting and screenplay development.
