The FilmSkills Screenwriting Class is complete and comprehensive, with lessons that take students through the entire screenwriting process. The lessons in this class focus on three key areas:

• Section 1 - Story Structure - This series of lessons focuses on how scripts are structured and include tutorials on the three act structure, A-story, subplots, and pacing.
   
• Section 2 - Character Development - Students learn how to develop believable characters, including the protagonist, antagonist, and supporting characters, as well as techniques for writing compelling dialogue, subtext, and backstory.
   
• Section 3 - The Writing Process - This series of lessons walk students through the writing process, from identifying the theme of the story through the outline and treatment stage, to the first draft and rewriting process. The final lesson is dedicated to marketing and selling the screenplay to producers and agents.

The contributors to this class are Emmy and Academy-Award-winning filmmakers who reveal the techniques they’ve learned throughout their careers.
