Twenty-four high school and/or college students will be selected for this FREE unique opportunity to work with professional screenwriting mentors. The top two participants will have the chance to write a script for the deadCenter University short films, which will debut at the 25th annual deadCenter Film Festival in June and be submitted to additional festivals.
“deadCenter Film is thrilled to be collaborating with Rose State College for the upcoming Screenwriting Workshop,” said Victor Caballero, deadCenter Film Director of Education & Outreach. “This event offers a unique chance for participants to learn from professional mentors who are eager to share their knowledge and expertise.
