The Fairfield Public Library is offering a
six-week writing workshop, Contemporary
Film Studies and Screenwriting: Genres
of Modern Cinema. The series will
begin on September 18 and continue September 25, October 2, October 9 and

eventually become a treatment or screenplay.
This is a continuation of January’s “Contemporary Screenwriting and Film
Studies” (not a pre-requisite)
