Script Writing for Movies and Television
A course by Julio Rojas

There are a million and one ways to tell a story and every scriptwriter has his or her own unique technique for doing so. Julio Rojas⁠—the 2012 Goya Award-winning scriptwriter and author—has developed a method he calls the "Script Folder," designed to help you tell a story and tackle the seemingly complex and daunting world of scriptwriting.

Learn techniques, tools, and tricks to turn that story idea in your head into an organic and coherent narrative system, ready to progress to the writing phase.

What is this course's project?

Create a script folder with all the necessary elements for writing a fiction audiovisual project.

Who is this online course for?

Any storyteller who's not specialized in script writing, as well as creatives, video game designers, and anyone who wants to tell a story like a professional.

Requirements and materials

No previous experience is necessary, just a notebook, a computer with a word processor, and a free Workflowy account.
