Or is it the Horla?

Thursday evenings, 6:30–7:45 pm. Each participant will be creating the beats or turning points in their movie’s story that propels the main character into action. At the start is an inciting incident that causes the main character to break out of denial to make a big change. All the characters in the movie will have backstories with strengths and weaknesses that inevitably lead to the climax of the movie, when the main character’s weakness leads to the night of hopelessness. But from deep within the character, the one forgotten skill practiced their whole life, but never truly appreciated, is used to conquer the darkness. Everyone’s movie is discussed in class each week, and this helps to build the creative energy. Fee: $48 for the 4-week series of 75-min. classes.
