Anyone who has ever tried to write even a couple of scenes of a movie or a play knows it's no child's play. And that is why Chennai-based Sam Kumar, who has trained in the art from Syd Field, considered the godfather of modern script-writing, has designed an online script-writing workshop. "The three-week course will be divided into eight classes, which can be customised according to the need of the participants. They will learn how to develop story ideas, refine the same, draft it in a professional format and create a great pitch for the script to be accepted," says Kumar, who is the founder and director of Mirage Film Institute in Chennai.
