Screenwriter, Daniel Wells | Hands-on Development Session

June 29, 2020, 7 PM - 8:30 PM
Zoom Meeting Room opens at 6:30 PM 

Development is the stage in screenwriting before a creative project goes into production, but the development process applies to any creative project. Planning is preparing; to define an audience, a plotline, a character flaw, etc. In this hands-on lecture, screenwriter Daniel Wells will take writers through a checklist of ten developmental steps towards a creative project, and we’ll fill out a developmental document together for your current or future project.
