PFS Announces Screenwriting Course with Professor, Marc Lapadula

Have you ever watched a movie and thought, “I could have written something better than that”? Well, now is your chance to prove it!

Marc Lapadula, professor of screenwriting at Yale University and former SW professor at University of Pennsylvania, will lead a 3-Soundstages, one of our city’s largest operating film and television studios (and the site of the new PFS offices)!

In this course, patrons will have the opportunity to examine classic film examples and their construction, explore common genres and screenwriting “rules”, and discuss how to sell a completed script.

The writers of (500) Days of Summer, The Hangover, The Break-up, and other successful screen and teleplays were all former students of professor Lapadula.

The class will meet three times on Tuesday August 17, 24 and 31, from 7-9pm. Registration is $125 and includes a course packet, which contains examples of screen and teleplays. PFS Members can enroll for the discounted rate of $100.
