Writing from The Inside Out: Finding Your Voice

Writing from The Inside Out: Finding Your Voice – Storytelling Masterclass by Ruth Atkinson
In collaboration with Discovery Days - Los Angeles Greek Film Festival
Wednesday November 8th- 10:30, Pavlos Zannas Theater

Yorgos Lanthimos, Greta Gerwig, Bong Joon-Ho, Jane Campion, Benicio del Toro and Chloe Zhao are filmmakers with distinct, unique voices. Voice is what sets you apart as a storyteller, it draws collaborators and audiences. Yet, as important as voice is, it’s one of the most elusive and misunderstood aspects of screenwriting. In this conversation we’ll define and explore ways of finding one’s voice, so that you’re able to write scripts that have your specific, unique storytelling signature. Tapping into your authentic voice, through connecting with your personal wheelhouse of interests, experiences and themes, will ensure your stories connect with readers and resonate with audiences long after they’ve left the theater.
