Screenwriting & Video Production Institute

 

Do you dream of being a director, producer or writer of film and television? Do you have ideas for scripts, but don’t know how to bring them to fruition? The Screenwriting and Video Production Institute will bring you through the three stages of film and video creation: Pre-production, production and post-production. This hands-on approach will give students the background needed to pursue a degree in directing, acting and writing. Students will learn how to brainstorm ideas, research topics, write a script, shoot and edit video. Our focus for this program will be creating a narrative critiquing body image in media. This production can take any form and it is up to your creative talents to make this narrative materialize, with the guidance of two experienced faculty.  There is no need to have a background in video production or scriptwriting. It requires that you have an interest and passion for the creative process.

 

Evenings and weekends, you'll take advantage of area resources by going on a Whale Watch or dining in the historic North End. Catch Blue Man Group in the theater district, or run around the city on a scavenger hunt to find the most obscure items possible like dirt from the Big Dig!

 

It’s all included in the Politics and Public Service Institute.Suffolk University, founded in 1906 by Gleason L. Archer as Suffolk School of Law is now a comprehensive university located on Boston's historic Beacon Hill. With residence hall facilities on Tremont Street across from the Common and a new residence hall on Beacon Hill, the Law School building at lower Tremont Street and the New England School of Art & Design at Suffolk University near the Public Garden in Park Square, the university circles the mid-town public parks in our urban version of the traditional campus quadrangle. The University enrolls more than 3,500 undergraduates from 29 states and 97 countries. In addition, there are over 1,500 graduate and professional students and over 1,700 students in the School of Law, bringing our total enrollment to approximately 7,000 students. Two-thirds of our undergraduate students are enrolled in the College of Arts & Sciences, and 33% are in the Sawyer School of Management. Almost 20% are multicultural students. Suffolk students and guests have access to the wealth of resources found in the downtown centers of finance, health care, commerce, government and law. Enjoy close proximity to some of the world’s top cultural and tourist attractions.
