of several famous films: 'PSYCHO', 'CHINATOWN', and 'DOCTOR STRANGELOVE'.
Students will be assigned to watch these classic movies and others as well as
read screenplays to learn by example.

creating dimensional characters, writing compelling dialogue, and operating in
the correct screenplay format. Participants will closely examine what is
necessary to enable them to market their work professionally.

RECOMMENDATION:
"Marc Lapadula's screenwriting course helped me to get started the right way
in this exciting -- but different and challenging -- kind of writing. The
screenplay I began in Marc's course, The Paper Route, went on to win cash
prizes in six screenwriting contests and is ranked as one of the top all-time
winners by winningscripts.com. Since then I have completed three more scripts,
one of which just won first prize in a screenwriting contest; and I have
received hundreds of requests for my scripts from producers. I thoroughly
recommend Marc's course both for beginning screenwriters and for those who have
been at it a while." -Dan Howell, Screenwriter
