Enjoyed the three weeks spent learning Screenwriting fundamentals. From story to plot development, character building to screenplay formatting, the course was well structured and conducted well. Every participant was given a chance to build their story and turn it into a screenplay. Enjoyed the experience and look forward to more with Living Bridge.

I did this course to brush up my knowledge and skills in Screenplay Writing. The course content is very clear and concise. This workshop helped me to understand the logic behind the story structure and the magic in a screenplay that works in a better way. I enjoyed the movies which were shown during the course. Thanks to Vaidehi Madam for sharing her knowledge and experience with us and Aziz sir, for coordinating the course.
It would have been better if the course had at least one session on how to pitch the story and the content of the course given in PDF format for the participants with Living Bridge Logo.
I would recommend Screenwriting Fundamentals Virtual Workshop, a Comprehensive short course for anyone who wishes to pursue the scriptwriting as a career. The workshop was amazing.
I’d like to thank Living Bridge for conducting the course and expecting more workshops like this in the future.

I come from a medical background, and this workshop for me was indeed a serendipity, when i just stumbled over in a social media platflorm with a feeling of total connect. My love for writing just motivated me to explore this new dimension. And im glad i did it, as i experienced an inner growth with an enhancement of my skills in a subject, which i never had thought i would be doing in my life ever. The way Vaidehi ma’am mentored with a lot of dedication and a personal touch has been quiet overwhelming. It became very smooth for a newcomer like me to understand the basics, and it has dwelled a confidence and a push within to explore this area further. I am extremely thankful to Vaidehi ma’am, Aziz sir and every participant in helping to assimilate this learning.

As i was wondering from past 2-3 months how to write whatever is running in my mind in a form of a story that can be picturised, came through this workshop and learned a lot from Vaidehi mam, she is brilliant as a mentor, pointing down the detailing and breaking down stories and the structure of it made me realize on how many layers can be added in the story and i am thankful to the living bridge for doing it so efficiently and smoothly in a 3 weeks time
