The curriculum is based on North American screenwriting industry standards and aims to provide students with the knowledge, skills and experience that will allow them to have writing careers in film and television. The curriculum is divided into group lectures and one-on-one workshops where students write full length feature film screenplays, original TV scripts, as well as animation and short scripts. At the end of their year of study, Students will have a portfolio of written work suitable for production and that can also be used as writing samples for the industry.
Create three dimensional characters that drive their stories and engage audiences emotionally
Construct structurally sound stories that are dramatically compelling and thematically consistent
Write character driven dialogue that is entertaining and true to life
Develop fundamental skills in visual storytelling, structure, character, format, and genre.
Commit to story and character development for your first feature screenplay.
Specialize in film, TV or games writing, and begin work on your final project.
Electives include writing for comics, video games, and writing for commercials.
More writing means more experience. By the time you complete your intensive year at SHVFS, you’ll have written more scripts than any traditional four-year film school.
Small workshops allows students to have extensive time with instructors insuring their scripts receive the attention they deserve.
Students will have the opportunity to collaborate with the Film Production and Acting Departments, and see their scripts come to life.

I am glad that my first professional film and television education is under the guidance of the friendly and patient teachers of SHVFS. The North American educational theory and practice here is really different from the domestic environment and allowed me to finish my first work. Although the scriptwriting classes are small, it is easier to establish deeper friendships, and study with each other. We all shared the same interests, and hope to continue to support each other in our future careers and life paths.
