Short-Term Workshops
The New York Film Academy has distilled the essential elements from our renowned screenwriting courses to create hands-on, intensive screenwriting workshops, designed for passionate students who are ready to work and learn within a focused creative environment. Students must come to the rst day of class with an idea for their screenplay, with the goal of completing
a rst draft by the conclusion of the workshop. Each student’s level of success depends entirely on his or
her own dedication, passion, and drive. Short-term program students will also gain a strong foundational understanding of the theory of writing, the business of screenwriting, and the practical tools and skills that can help them compete in the marketplace.
