There is a lot of talk out there about the rom-com renaissance, that era during the '90s and early '00s when romantic comedy films were the biggest movies out there, starring the biggest people, and written by the greats. There's a lot of nostalgia for that time, and for good reason. But our current era is not without its memorable rom-com moments. This class is designed to take you deeper than ever into what makes a great rom-com tick — to deepen your own writing and/or your own experience as a viewer and appreciator of the genre. We will be studying a few of the notable rom-coms — and rom-dramedies — that have been released in the past ten years. What can we learn from them? Which are destined to be considered classics? Which deserved theatrical releases? Which tropes are still working for us, and which would we like to see retired immediately? In PART 2 of this course we will also be exploring a few “classics” from decades far past.
This class is brought to you by Alanna Bennett, a screenwriter, author, and culture writer who has approached this topic from all the aforementioned perspectives. Class will also feature craft & industry Q&As with Alanna, and if we can swing it there may be BONUS TALKS FROM INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS.
SCHEDULE OF VIEWINGS TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON.
