LEARN MORE ABOUT WRITING A SCREENPLAY WHILE RAISING FUNDS FOR YOUR SCHOOL!
Stefan Enslin’s exclusive Film-In-A-Day workshop teaches and supports schools simultaneously.
Many children dream of one day writing their own screenplay for a film, writing a book, or being part of the writing team behind a popular soap opera.
With Stefan Enslin’s exclusive FILM-IN-A-DAY WORKSHOP, these dreams are achievable, while schools can also raise funds for all those essential expenses that arise throughout the year.
Enslin is a driven and passionate filmmaker, writer, director, and screenwriter with more than a decade of experience in the film industry.
With this exceptional project, he aims to give students a glimpse behind the scenes of the film industry and equip them with the fundamental skills needed to tell outstanding stories on the big screen.
In just a day (9:00 AM to 4:30 PM), aspiring writers and filmmakers will be exposed to the basics of creative writing, with specific focus on the film industry.
The session will commence with an introduction to the film industry and the role of the writer, emphasizing the difference between writing for film and other media.
Following that, elements of a compelling story, such as plot, character, setting, and theme, will be discussed, along with scene building, character development, dialogue, and much more.
Apart from the creative aspects, attention will also be given to the business of screenwriting, including aspects like agents, pitches, selling a screenplay, as well as legal and copyright considerations.
At the end of the workshop, there will be an opportunity to ask questions to ensure that each participant gains as much value as possible from the day, kicking off their career as a screenwriter on a positive and informed note.
Schools can invite Enslin to present the workshop and also show one of his films on a big screen at the end of the day. For more information and to discuss the necessary arrangements, costs, and logistics, please contact info@starburstmusic.co.za.
