Workshop Experience
Writers Room Workshop (8-Week Series, Short Film Focus)
Whether you're polishing your first short or returning with a new idea, this 8-week immersive screenwriting program is for emerging writers ready to take their short film from concept to pitch and possible production with Slight Breeze Studios. Led by two working screenwriters and coaches, each week will focus on building your script from the ground up — from character and story development to writing, revising, and preparing to pitch your final piece.
By the end of the series, you'll walk away with a completed short film script, a pitch deck, and feedback from fellow writers and industry professionals. Sessions include writing exercises, peer and instructor feedback, script analysis, and more all held in the creative, collaborative environment of our studio in Brooklyn, New York.
