The mission of the concentration in Screenwriting & Directing is to rigorously train storytellers in film, television, and digital media. This concentration is specifically for students who intend to immerse themselves in the art of both writing and directing, many of whom will go on to become writer-directors.Students are exposed to the principles and working methods of a variety of genres and dramatic forms in both writing and directing. Through multiple exercises in both disciplines, short films, and script projects (both short and feature-length), students are encouraged to explore their understanding of the medium, with the ultimate goal of establishing each student’s personal voice as a writer/director.
