Story on Screen: A Film Study Series
Wednesdays - 4-Weeks - Begins July 8th - 5pm-7pm PT
Instructor: Andrew Buckley
Film is one of the most powerful storytelling mediums in the world, but great movies don’t happen by accident. This ongoing 4-week film study course explores the craft of cinema through the lens of storytelling. Designed for screenwriters, writers, filmmakers, and passionate movie lovers alike, each 4-week block focuses on a curated selection of films.
Together, we’ll break down structure, character arcs, pacing, dialogue, visual storytelling, tone, editing, and cinematic language to better understand why certain films resonate so deeply with audiences. Whether you’re developing your own script or simply want to deepen your appreciation of film, this course will help you watch movies with a sharper eye and a storyteller’s mindset.
Workload: Each week includes an assigned movie and screenplay and guided discussion, with opportunities for scene analysis and group conversation.
