Take my UCLA Extension Writer’s Studio class

Over four intense days (February 27, 2020 – March 1, 2020) you can start to write your script

Learning to write a screenplay is a process, and to do it well can take years of practice. This workshop offers two tried-and-true ways to make a lot of progress in a short period of time as you: 1) learn how to write a strong outline and 2) get personalized feedback on your work. A series of writing exercises and assignments help you master the basics of screenwriting, especially the all-important screenplay structure, while also exploring scene development, characterization, and dialogue. Boil down your story into a one-sentence logline and then expand that into a complete outline for a feature-length script. With a solid, entertaining outline in hand, you leave the workshop ready to conceptualize and begin work on your own script beyond the classroom.

Best OR Worst Day of My Life is a bi-monthly podcast where we talk to “regular people” about either their best or worst day of their lives. We don’t know what we will choose or what they are going to say until the microphones are on and we’re recording. Hosted by writer/producer/father Koji Steven Sakai and father/husband /actor/aspiring chef M Martin Mapoma.
