From Coppola to Cameron, Steven Spielberg to Bong Joon-ho, many of our greatest filmmakers have started with a first or early feature in the horror, suspense and sci-fi thriller genre. Emerging directors Robert Eggers, Jordan Peele, Jennifer Kent and Ari Aster all made horror films as their first features and you too may pursue this path. Students in this class will write a first draft of a horror, suspense, or sci-fi thriller feature screenplay. We will also examine the elements common to the films of this genre.
