Film MFA: From Script to Screen

A required workshop in screenplay development and the collaborative process, for first-year students only.  Before the start of the workshop, each first-year student will have selected a classmate's ten-minute screenplay to direct as a major project at the end of first year.  In this workshop, the screenwriter of each project revises and polishes his or her script in close consultation with the director. 

Since each student in the workshop is the writer of one script and the director of another, everyone experiences both sides of the writer-director collaboration.
