HNAR-240: Writing for Documentary Film

The art of non-fiction screenwriting is essentially the art of narrativizing real life events. You will learn how to discover stories, research archival materials, conduct interviews, and write scripts. These scripts will become the foundation to your feature film. While the class will focus on the craft of storytelling within the realm of non-fiction, you will explore experimental and stylized communication through film. During this process, you will also pitch an idea and write a treatment, articulating your vision, both visually and conceptually.
