The Jacksonville
First Coast Chapter
Proudly Presents:
EVERYTHING YOU
WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT SHORT FILM GENRES AND MORE…OR LESS.
With Writer's Guild of America Member
- Sharon Y. Cobb
So
you know the basics of screenwriting…the 3-act structure, character
development, conflict, theme…all that crafty stuff. But you’re a
little fuzzy when it comes to knowing a thriller from a horror film
or a romantic comedy from a love story. Well, come on down to
March’s FMPTA meeting and Sharon Y. Cobb will spill her guts about
genre. Everything she’s learned about genre in 20 years of writing
films, she’ll boggle your brain with in this 60+-minute rant.
Whether you’re gearing up for this year’s 48 Hour Film Project or
thinking of writing the Great American short film, you need to know
elements of genre.

2009, 6:30 p.m., Jacksonville University, 2800 University Blvd
