Writing a screenplay is easy if you get your basics right - My name is Piotr. I’m an active screenwriter and director, and an academic teacher at Polish National Film School. In this class, I'll share the most important tools of screenwriting, that you should know to write a great first script.
This class is a perfect introductory course for someone who wants to write for Film &amp; TV. Also, writers that wrote their first screenplays will find value in systematizing their knowledge.
In this course, I’m sharing everything that I found useful while discarding anything that is obsolete. My goal is to give you the practical advice that you can use in actual writing.
