Subsidised Syd Field seminar in Sydney
Author, lecturer and screenwriter will present his storytelling seminar Mastering the Craft of Screenwriting in Sydney next month.
“In collaboration with Screen NSW’s Aurora Program, Screen Australia is thrilled to be sponsoring Mr Field’s first Australian trip and giving Australian filmmakers the opportunity to have access to this brilliant and enlightening man,” said Screen Australia head of development Martha Coleman.
Field will focus on updating the classic storytelling conventions with contemporary tools and techniques for the modern screenplay.
The seminar will be presented over four nights (8–11 November). Each night Field will explore a specific subject relating to the craft of screenwriting accompanied by examples from Academy Award–winning movies:
- Evening one: The Evolution/Revolution of the Contemporary Screenplay/Teleplay.
- Evening two: Setting Up Character and Story.
- Evening three: Writing Effective Dialogue.
- Evening four: Preparing and Writing Great Scenes.
Places for single or multiple evenings may be purchased at a fraction of the usual rate for Syd Field’s lectures. Further details here.
Is he coming to Melbourne?! This would be brilliant — have been reading/referring to his books for years.
