"Show Me the Money"
The Dialogue Workshop
August 1, 2017 7PM - 9PM
Location: The Art Institute of Tucson
5099 E. Grant Road Rm 129 Tucson, AZ, 85712
For beginners to experienced writers –
Discover the essential elements of GREAT DIALOGUE and the fatal flaws that undermine dialogue.
Learning the basic techniques will instantly improve the emotional impact and quality of your writing.
Writing great dialogue is a combination of having a trained ear (knowing what to listen for) and learning basic technique. This mini-workshop helps you sharpen your ear, making your dialogue crisp, effective, suspenseful and memorable. Great dialogue scenes have strong structure which is learnable, and will insure that all your dialogue scenes have maximum impact.
Great films have memorable lines of dialogue: "You had me at Hello." "Frankly, My Dear, I don't give a damn!" "We'll always have Paris." "We're not in Kansas anymore," "Go ahead. Make my day." "Houston, we have a problem." "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get." "Of all the gin joints in the world, she had to walk into mine." These lines stay with us forever!
Writing dialogue is great fun – and writing great dialogue is electrifying! It can make the difference between selling a screenplay or publishing a book – or having your project remain a manuscript sitting in your file drawer!
