Who are the funniest copywriters of all time?
This won't help you toward a master's, but I've really liked SVA's continuing education classes.
Following
Try Aaron Sorkin master class
Read “Save The Cat” and write five screenplays. Then see if you still need to go back to school for screenwriting.
I’ve always wanted to try writing a screenplay but I don’t even know where to start. I’ve thought of doing a short story one that would work as a 30 minute episode of something like Are You Afraid of the Dark or Tales From The Crypt.
Anyone here do stuff like this for fun?
Yes. Trust me. Read “Save The Cat” by Blake Snyder.
Then download a bunch of screenplays to read (I recommend scripts on the Blacklist to see what development execs are liking).
Or if you want to write TV, downloads bunch of scripts for series that are similar to what you want to write.
CW2 - oh I’ve read a bunch of scripts for tv and film over the years. I’ve always been super into it but have yet to actually write a completed script. I psych myself out before I can even finish. Sounds like a good summer goal though.
Yeah, I like the summer goal. Good luck. But, do read STC. It’ll save you a lot of heartache and time and make your job so much easier And don’t be intimidated. I know too many hacks that finish screenplays. You can do it.
You can take screenwriting or sitcom writing classes at a comedy school (UCB) or online and save yourself a ton of money.
I graduated from NYU Tisch’s dept of dramatic writing. It’s pretty much as good as it gets on the east coast IMHO. If you haven’t read Lajos Egri’s The Art of Dramatic Writing and Syd Field’s Screenplay, those are realllllly good.
