Ever felt the dread of a blank page staring back at you? Us, too. Join the team at Magnetic
Boots as we take you through some basic screenwriting steps in our 5 week course, which
you’ll finish with the first draft of a short film.
Aimed at actors who want to start making their own work and are looking for some help on
the way, over the course of four in-person sessions we’ll look at some of the fundamentals
of screenwriting. Loglines - what are they and why are they important? How do you create
a beat sheet?
You’ll also receive feedback tailored to your work along the way from Shelley, a current
writer and storyliner at Shortland Street, and the writer and director of award winning short
film Hand in Hand. Once your first draft is completed, you’ll then receive feedback from a
CELEBRITY guest tutor on your script and how to make your storytelling the best it can be.
At the end of the four sessions, our superstar producer Georgia will provide a run down on how to get
your films made, including funding options, as well as how to make your film without
funding. Join Magnetic Boots as we explore storytelling and expand your skills along the
way.
