BRATTLEBORO — The Brattleboro Film Festival will offer “So, You Want to Write a Screenplay? Scriptwriting Essentials,” a free, two-part workshop that will be taught by veteran Hollywood screenwriter and Brattleboro Film Festival Advisory Board member Tim Metcalfe, whose credits include “Revenge of the Nerds,” “Kalifornia,” “The Haunting in Connecticut” and, more recently, the critically acclaimed “Higher Ground,” directed by and starring the Oscar-nominated actress Vera Farmiga.
The three-hour workshop runs 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on successive Sundays, Nov. 3 and Nov. 10, in the Community Room of the Brattleboro Food Co-op at 2 Main St.
The effort is part of the festival's commitment to free filmmaking workshops and talks open to the community. As a limited number of seats are available, those interested should call 802-490-0714 or visit the festival website for more information.
