Your sketches kick ass. Your characters have people laughing to the point of bodily pain. Now what can you do to bring this magic to the silver screen? How do you take a four-minute idea and develop it into a full-blown screenplay? Do you sell your comic masterpiece to Hollywood or film it yourself? Join writer and performer Owen Egerton for a two hour workshop on developing your sketches for the screen. Working with your ideas we will delve into precision plot building, dynamic character development, and the secrets of crafting an excellent screenplay.
