The First 10 Pages | Screenwriting Workshop

 

Just because it’s great writing doesn’t mean it will (1) get made or (2) even sell. Today’s TV and film market is more competitive than ever and the old rules no longer apply. This workshop is meant to be an introduction to how to make your work stand out, shimmer, pop, excite, and engage. What do readers look for? How can you give it to them? This is a working workshop.

Space is minimal, so if you’re interested in this workshop, register before the available spots fill up!

Instructor: Hank Issac

Hank Color Small r

Hank Isaac has led a varied life which has included flying kites at age four on Long Island’s south shore with Albert Einstein, crossing the Atlantic three times in small sailboats, and helping to raise a genius daughter in a toy store. He has been a screenwriter since the mid 1990s, mentored by the late Stewart Stern, and has been a filmmaker since 2001. His films have been official selections in over one-hundred international film festivals and competitions with more than fifty awards.
