Script Out Loud - New Writing Workshop
There's a new writing workshop at Galway Film Centre.
The one-day workshop will help screenwriters advance their material by exploring it 'off the page'. Participants will act out each other's work and tutor, David Keating, writer and director of The Last Of The High Kings and Wake Wood, will guide writers to improve their dialogue, action and scene descriptions. All participants will do a small amount of preparation prior to the day, which must be emailed to the tutor. This will include writing 1 or 2 pages of script and analysing each scene according to conflict, exposition and needs/wants of characters. Participants may bring a camera and ask someone to record their work being acted out.
About the Tutor:
David wrote and directed The Last of the High Kings (Miramax), starring Jared Leto, Gabriel Byrne and Christina Ricci. His latest feature, Wake Wood (Hammer/Vertigo/IFB), will be released in 2010 and stars Aiden Gillen (The Wire), Eva Birthistle (Ae Fond Kiss) and Timothy Spall (The Damn United, Sweeney Todd).
As a screenwriter, he has worked for Columbia Pictures/Sony and on Mike Newell's Into The West (Miramax). He has directed TV drama, documentaries and music videos.
He has also mentored on screenwriting labs Equinoxe Germany, Equinoxe TBC France, Moonstone and tutored writers and directors at Mira Nair's MAISHA Initiative in Kampala for East African Filmmakers.
Date: Saturday, 27th February
Fee: 100 euro for students, unemployed / 130 for others
