Come learn a step-by-step process to a deep understanding of story-telling through dialogue and action.
Daniel has been teaching this MRU class for more than 20 years! His award-winning film "Burned" has been to Film Festivals around the world and his plays have had more than 50 productions throughout Canada, and in LA, Chicago, St Louis, Pittsburgh, plus several times in New York City . His new full-length feature screenplay, "Polynia", co-written with Vera Neverkevich, recently earned Daniel and Vera an invitation to Stowe Story Labs. This past September, Daniel and Vera travelled to Stowe, Vermont, to further develop their script. Right after, Daniel was in NYC directing a public reading of a new play at Voyage Theater.
NOTE: Fundamentals of Scriptwriting is again being offered in-person.
