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.
