Message from Christine Wagner, Membership Program
I would like to invite you to The Fundamentals of Screenwriting, a Writers' Workshop with our very own Program Director, Toney Merritt. On April 5th, from 10 am to 4 pm, please join us for The Fundamentals of Screenwriting, a one-day intensive and comprehensive introduction to the development and practice of conceptualizing and writing scripts for the many visual media forms, such as Film, Video, Television and Video Games. As this workshop is tailored to the “visual telling” of stories, the emphasis is placed on pacing, camera presence, dialogue and character development. Participants should plan to bring writing materials and a "brown bag" lunch. This workshop is free to Mendocino High School students and MFF members. Instructor Toney Merritt taught screenwriting sessions at SFSU's Digital Video Intensive Program twice yearly for ten years. He was invited to the Squaw Valley Community of Writers Conference in 2007 as a writer and director, and he returned in 2008 as a screenwriting instructor. He also lectured at the 2011 Mendocino Coast Writers Conference. To reserve a spot, please email toney_merritt@yahoo.com. |
