The Screenwriting Lab
About the Screenwriting Lab

Participants will acquire the knowledge to write an original story - a short or feature length for either film or digital technology - or rewrite/polish an existing script. Each participant will receive individual attention, discuss their project, and receive feedback from the instructor and peers, simulating the real development process that takes place in a production company or movie studio. Film clips, lecture, pitch sessions, and discussions are incorporated into the program, as well as the business of screenwriting and new digital technologies.

The returning lecturer is award-winning WGA screenwriter, producer, and director Tom Musca. Credits include Stand and Deliver (Academy nomination for best actor), Tortilla Soup, and Gotta Kick It Up! Tom was named Moseley Fellow at Pomona College in 2006. He was head of the Screenwriting Faculty at the New Mexico Filmmakers Intensive, a post-graduate in the above-the-line film-training program for writers, producers, directors, and editors at the College of Santa Fe in New Mexico. He also conducts MPAA workshops around the world on Screenwriting and Producing. Mr. Musca has several features in development. He holds an M.F.A. in Screenwriting from UCLA film school.

Space is limited to 15 participants. Tuition is $295 plus a $15.00 processing and materials fee. A $75.00 deposit is required to reserve a spot. Full payment is due a week before the start of the workshop. Checks, cashier checks or money orders are accepted. Deadline to register is November 7th. To register, email btgproductionsinc@gmail.com.
