“No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader."

Robert Frost

The Screenwriters Workshop is highly interactive and is taught by screenwriter, script consultant, actress, and director, Brandi Lynn Borgia. 

There is an ONLINE COURSE, as well as an ONLINE combined with scheduled meetings Screenwriters' Workshop in Cleveland, OH. 

Students are encouraged to bring into the workshop a script already started, a finished script, or a film idea to be worked on, formatted, and perfected the entire eight weeks.

Students submit their work directly to the instructor.
The instructor's detailed feedback to EVERY SCRIPT SUBMISSION serves not only as a lesson to the screenwriting student about how to write a properly formatted screenplay, but as actual professional script consulting on a real script, your real script.

**It is important that students protect their work along the way by mailing scripts to themselves from themselves AND NOT OPENING IT WHEN IT COMES BACK.  

"The Journey of a thousand words begins with the first."   Final Draft

A screenplay is a blueprint.  It conveys information about the structure of a film, and like a blueprint, MUST CONFORM TO CERTAIN UNIVERSAL STANDARDS.

One of the biggest STANDARDS is a screenplay that "SHOWS" and "DOESN'T TELL." Screenplays are stories told in moving pictures that show action with the help of dialogue.  The screenwriters job is to externalize the internal.  Screenplays can not contain writing that can't be shown on the screen or heard in dialogue.  A novelist takes you inside a character's mind, a screenwriter SHOWS YOU WHAT'S IN IT because 'thoughts can't be filmed.' 

• An Actor that recognizes a good and properly formatted screenplay can discriminate between a good SCRIPT and a bad one and audition accordingly. This increases your chances of landing roles in HIT MOVIES and not wasting your time on film projects sure to fail due to an improperly written screenplay.

• Everyone involved in the movie making process reads the script with a different purpose.  And its imperative everyone understand the fundamentals of screenwriting in order for any project to be successful.

• Remember when reviewing your script to not only read it, WATCH IT!
