Screenwriting with Mikki del Monico

July 23, 24 & 25 from 1 to 4 p.m.

If you ever wanted thought you had a great idea for a screenplay but had
no idea how to begin, this class is for you. This introductory
screenwriting class will cover the basics of three-act structure and
character development, as well as specific screenwriting format (how the
script should look on the page). Using examples from well-crafted
screenplays and their resultant films, we will explore how a good story
takes shape. Come equipped with your own ideas! I will also offer a
variety of web resources and the names of useful books should you want
to pursue screenwriting beyond the scope of the class.

Mikki del Monico is a screenwriter and film/video editor. She has
recently completed her Master of Fine Arts Degree in Columbia
University’s Film Program, where two of her scripts won Faculty Honors
in the 2003 Columbia Film Festival. She was a 2002 recipient of the
Alfred P. Sloan Award for Screenwriting. She has also participated in a
writer’s residency (2002), awarded her by the Robert M. MacNamara
Foundation in Maine. In March, 2003, she served as the Festival
Coordinator for 25 Years of Women Calling the Shots, the 25th
anniversary exhibition and symposium for New York Women in Film &
Television, held at Lincoln Center. She has directed, shot, and/or
edited several short videos, many in collaboration with choreographers
and musicians in New York City. She has edited two feature films. As
recipient of a Digital Media Fellowship, 1999-2001, she served as the
