Finally. A unique immersion experience for screenwriters that provides a safe, quiet place to escape and explore your craft. This year’s instructors include Joe Forte (writer, FIREWALL), Meg LeFauve (producer and former President Jodie Foster’s Egg Pictures), Amy Salko Robertson (producer, former agent CAA) and Barri Evins (producer, former President of Debra Hill Productions).

Let CineStory mentors guide you through an in-depth examination of your existing projects, as well as help you develop ideas that will make a splash in the real world.

‘I came to Idyllwild expecting to learn more about the craft of screenwriting. What I got was far greater… I learned about my own craft and how I write. I learned the basics of screenwriting at a college, but I learned more of the guts and glory at Idyllwild.’ Mary Conroy, Camp ‘06

Session I: Script Craft - Building Your Fire (July 5–8)
Work one-on-one with pro instructors who will guide you through that rewrite or first draft. Writers turn in pages for mentor and peer feedback daily.

Session II: Faster Than a Speeding Bullet - Targeting the Idea That Can Catapult Your Career (July 9–11)
Whether your goal is to win contests, get representation, attract producers, direct your own film or have a million dollar spec sale, you need the idea that will get you there. This session is devoted to crafting and pitching brilliant stories.
