Students will use and improve their creative writing skills to develop their documentary film projects, illuminate their film's participants in ways that bring them to life on the page, and describe the action of a film in dynamic, readable ways so that audiences will want to engage more with the project. Through in-class and at home games and workshops, filmmakers will craft useful film summaries and, through peer collaboration, come away with writing that can be applied to grant applications, letters of inquiry, crowdfunding campaigns, pitch meetings, dinner parties, and even the structure of the film itself.
PREREQUISITE: Participants should have a non-fiction project in development or production that they plan to direct or produce to best benefit from this course.
NOTE: This course is fully online and offered through synchronous sessions during the listed course hours.
