Screenwriting: From Outline to First Draft of Your Screenplay (November 2026 session)
Run by Sundance Institute (Sundance Collab)
Writers who already have an outline, or a draft to rebuild, spend 15 weeks turning it into a complete feature draft of 90 to 120 pages. Deborah Goodwin gives the video lectures and an advisor reads the work three times. The pace is your own, but assignments fall due with a cohort.
