On Friday, we will go hear Edith Bell:
On Friday, May 12th, from 8am-9:03, Edith Bell (junior Nolan Bell’s paternal grandmother) will be here to speak about her experience as a holocaust survivor and peace activist. You can check out her bio below.
I have reserved the ensemble theatre so seating is limited. Please let me know ASAP if you would like to bring your class, and I will confirm with you.
- Write a premise. After reading your first draft, get your head around the main idea behind your story (your story’s premise) by using a screenwriting trick called a “logline.” Here’s the formula for a great logline: your character + a descriptor, followed by an event, followed by a conflict or villain. Here’s an example of a premise from “A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner: A lonely, Southern woman is found dead and decaying in her home after being abandoned by her lover.
