About the Event
The scene is the building block of the script. Each scene must move character and story forward and have its own internal structure. A well-crafted scene is a little three-act play. We'll perform forensics on scenes from films and talk about how they work in the context of the whole script. We'll write a scene as a group and see if it holds together.
