One of the key goals of this screenwriting program is for your script to emerge as a realistic contender for production. Write your own screenplay for an original, marketable feature film—the true mark of a professional screenwriter.
WRITE A FEATURE SCREENPLAY AND SO MUCH MORE
Study screenwriting in the heart of Canada’s script writing industry. Learn how to write full screenplays in just 8 months. Create polished portfolio pieces, including an original TV pilot and feature screenplay, that entice studios. Develop a television series in a simulated writers’ room headed by our industry-professional instructors. Then get down to business—learn how to pitch to producers and develop eye-catching pitch packages designed to sell your script. Upon graduation, you will have developed your writing skills, built a diverse portfolio, and made valuable contacts in the industry.

HARD WORK, NOT OVERWORK
