Christian Screenplays shouldn’t suck. Unfortunately, they have gained just such a reputation. The world has been in a story telling contest since the Dragon’s first “Hath God said…” our survival as a people depends on our storytellers being able to compete on an uneven playing field. You will learn the fundamentals of storytelling, the fundamentals of screenwriting, and the way these all apply to making movies. In this class you will learn the ins and outs of screenwriting as a medium as well as how to tell fundamentally Christian stories in an industry that has turned its back on everything that makes stories great. Come prepared to enjoy and think deeper about movies than you ever thought possible.
