Elements of Film: Screenwriting
This popular daytime course returns after dark! JBFC faculty member and NYU professor Rob Morton will share the building blocks of a well-crafted script. Learn how the screenwriter uses plot and structure—alongside production design, costume, and performance—to show, not tell. Students read script excerpts and view short films to deepen their understanding of structure. This seminar is perfect for film lovers and aspiring screenwriters alike.

This program will take place at the JBFC Theater.
