Script to Screen: Screenwriting - What Producers Need to Know

Script to Screen is presenting a two day workshop delivered by renowned Australian script editor/EP/creative producer Claire Dobbin in QUEENSTOWN AND DUNEDIN. 

Getting to work with Claire Dobbin is a rare opportunity for those committed to investing in themselves, their creativity, and their future as screen storytellers. 

The workshop is designed for producers, writers, HOD’s and other key creatives.

The workshop will cover:

   How to build mutually respectful and productive relationships

   How to develop confidence to explore creative conversations, and to find a shared vision with collaborators

   The function that script development plays in the final production

   How to identify story issues, exploring solutions through a questioning process while upholding the creative vision of a script

For this workshop, advanced preparation of approximately 16-24 hrs is required. Participants will have a curated watch list and script reading to complete. These case studies will form an integral foundation for the analysis and discussion undertaken over the weekend.

Note: Places are limited. In order to complete the online registration you will be asked a series of short answer questions. You will be notified at least 2 weeks prior, if you have gained a place within the workshop.
