Character development and dialogue can only take you so far. It’s action that drives your story forward, and as the most visual component of any screenplay, it can be a daunting task to put it into words. Panelists will discuss writing action and description for a script and give their advice for writing scenes that translate seamlessly from script to screen.

Must have an AFF Producers, Conference, Weekend, or Lone Star Badge for entry.
