We will be sharing a reading of selected scenes from several new screenplays from our Experienced Level Screenwriting course taught by Barry McEvoy. Additional writers may be added from our recent alumni. Professional actors will be performing the roles!

FEATURED WRITERS & ACTORS FOR OCTOBER 2nd INCLUDE:

 

Gillian Arigho, Pierre Chanliau, John Doyle, Eric Haughan, Bryan O’Neill and Claire Young

Admission into the  “Screenwriting- Experienced Level” courses is by submitted writing samples or from previous  “Introduction to Screenwriting” course participants.  Class size was limited in order to provide the highest quality of tuition. Over the past 3 months, they have been writing under the inspired guidance of Barry.

“More than just a formulaic re-hashing of Hollywood writing advice, this course has creatively delved into the individual voices of these writers to bring original, dynamic and engaging scripts to fruition. ”
– Barry McEvoy
