Because all productions are entirely dependent on screenplays and cannot exist without them, we urge Screenwriting students to familiarize themselves with all aspects of production, particularly as they are expressed in this Handbook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 We also encourage all Screenwriting students to connect with Production students and offer to collaborate with them on their scripts \u2013 either write short scripts for them or co-write with them. We will provide opportunities to mix with the other programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
