How does an idea become a story, and a story become a series? Come along to this Script To Screen workshop and delve into those all-important first steps that take you from the very beginnings of an idea to having a developed project you can use to attract collaborators, platforms and funders. This journey takes longer than a day, but this one-day workshop will take you through those first steps and help you plan your next moves. Empowerment starts here!
Participants will create new projects from scratch developing original ideas in the room, interrogate successful shows and analyse why they work, and learn about the essential materials you need to sell a project.
The workshop is pitched at the developing writer – if you have ideas you would like to turn into a series drama, this day is for you. Bring a notebook and pen, an original idea - a few lines is fine - and your creative energy.
Who it's for: Anyone interested in developing a series idea for the screen.
When: 9:00am – 5:00pm, Saturday, 13 May 2023.
Where: Drama 2, Te Whaea National Dance & Drama Centre, 11 Hutchison Road, Newton, Wellington
Cost: General Admission $25 (incl. GST) via EventBrite
