This class provides a thorough explanation of all facets of the unique business of being a professional feature film screenwriter.

Learn how to register your script and position it to become a feature film. Learn how to find a literary agent and manager and what can realistically be expected from them. Learn what is involved in working with producers, production companies, and studio executives. Join us!
