Screenwriting Workshop – Carlo Mazzacurati Film School

Develop your project: from the idea to the pitch with producers

Do you have an idea you keep putting off, a story you feel promising but can't quite structure, or some written pages that work alone but don't work together? The atelier is a space where thoughts take shape. It's a workshop designed for those who already know the basics of film writing and want to try their hand at developing their own idea with our teachers. The program concludes with a pitch session in front of producers and industry professionals. PTo get started, all you need is an idea, even a very small one. From the idea to the story, from the treatment to the outline, all the way to the first pages of the screenplay. Each student will complete the course with a structured story, discussed, revised with the screenwriters, and ready to present.

Who is it for?

For those who already have a solid foundation in film writing. For those with an idea to develop. For those who want to work professionally on their project.

How it works

Limited-access classes, individual tutoring. In-depth project analysis; weekly homework assignments with personalized feedback and direct discussion of the written pages during the weekly class; workshops with ongoing revisions until the pitch is constructed and simulated. In-depth masterclasses with film professionals.

Course objectives

Develop a structured story. Build a solid outline. Draft the first few pages of the screenplay. Prepare the project for presentation and have an effective pitch.
