Writing Comedy for Film & TV (On Demand)

Intermediate
With: LaMont Ferrell, Ed Decter, Colleen Werthmann and Brittani Nichols
Comedy is arguably an essential part of the human experience. Finding the funny in the mundane, the absurd, and even the most tragic keeps the world from falling into complete despair. Crafting the funny is an art form that few writers have successfully mastered. In this on-demand course, you will learn from accomplished writers about how to find your own comedic voice and will have the opportunity to engage in writing exercises. By the end of the course, you will have a deeper understanding of what comedy is, what tools you have at your disposal, how to find the funny in your own work, and how to break into the comedy writing profession.
