There are times when I simply do not have enough hours in the day to give the full attention that my work here requires, why must we sleep?

The act of Rewriting is an absolutely critical part of the overall writing process. Students engage in the rigorous process of creating a second draft as they reach a new plateau in terms of skill and ability. Class time is devoted to detailed analysis of student work and the issues involved in creating and sustaining professional caliber work.

This class also deals with the Business of Screenwriting. Students focus on developing an overall strategy for the sale of a screenplay from registering a script to finding an agent. They also develop script treatments, beat sheets, proposal letters, and pitch story ideas. Fourth course in a four course sequence in which students can finish a complete feature length screenplay.
