Screenwriting Workshop

Go beyond just a “good idea” and learn how to incorporate the nuances of culture and society into your story world, develop authentic characters, write natural dialogue and factor in the technicalities of film - without compromising your chosen genre.

(Bonus points if you're writing specifically for a diverse audience. For example, Africans and Ethnic Minorities in diaspora; or the Nollywood film industry!)

There was a time when being a creative was seen as an impractical occupation that no one could earn a consistent living from. And so, many would-be writers made the practical decision to get "proper jobs"; stifling their creative dreams in exchange for "grown up decisions."

 

But times have changed: the internet has made creating incredibly accessible, and many people are finding that their urge to create is waking up; stirred awake by the flurry of creativity in the air.

 

If this is you - if you've been toying with the idea of finally writing that script; finally telling that story! - but… you never learnt the technicalities of screenwriting, and you're not quite sure how to convert your amazing story from an idea into a screenplay?

Or maybe you're just a bit rusty… maybe it's been a while since you wrote anything and you're not sure how to get going?

Then this service was tailor-made for you.

 

Over the course of 12 customisable sessions (that you can do on the weekends, since you're still working your "real job" - for now 😉) we'll go through the basics of screenwriting and work our way up:

- from character development

- to story development,

- dialogue,

- pacing;

- and you'll also get started on your very own screenplay

- and learn how to create a pitch deck to market your work to film platforms!

“Absolutely loved this workshop. I’m extremely happy with my progress. I’ve gone from being intimidated at the thought of writing a script to writing a 60-page first episode. Wow!! Thank you, Omotayo. I’m going to miss these classes a lot."
