This course helped me discover my interest in screenwriting and see what all is required to be a screenwriter. At first, I didn't believe that screenwriting was a necessary profession, I have now gained a deeper understanding and appreciation for it.
This was a great introductory course to screenwriting! I learned both the hard and soft skills required for the field. We watched many short films and analyzed the tools used, but almost all of the screenings were done during the normal class period. The main project of the semester is a 15ish page screenplay for a short film, which you workshop periodically and it ends up being your "final". Great structure!

I'm not a Film major, but this was one of my favorite classes I've ever taken! Ngaiza was so helpful in getting me to generate ideas and write my short film. She was very dedicated to my creative process, meeting with me outside of class to help me tweak my story and edit my screenplay. She's very competent and offers great suggestions. Loved this course!
