Feature Rewrite Lab
$855.00
Nov 1 to Dec 20 — Sundays, 10:00am-1:00pm (PT)
Instructor: Thane Economou
The next logical class after Feature Development Lab and Feature Draft Intensive.
Writing is rewriting, and this is the place to do it. The first four weeks will be guided classes in which the instructor and your peers will offer honest notes on your material and help you hone the key elements of your project. Notes will be given on 15 pages of a writer’s screenplay to which they will have applied the lessons and techniques, except one week where writers will get notes on their relationship progression tool.
Classes cover: You’ll learn techniques to fine tune all aspects of your script, from structure to character development, to dialogue and scene work. Then, you’ll have 3 weeks off to rewrite your script and hand it in. The class will meet for a fifth and final session, after which writers will receive detailed, written feedback from the instructor on their entire script.
Prep work is a brief elevator pitch of the writer’s project that the writer will share in class on the first day.
Requirements: Before class begins, writers must have a completed draft of a feature script that they wish to rewrite. Our Feature Development Lab & Feature Draft Intensive courses are prerequisites.
Testimonial: “Thane has a contagious love of movies and passion for craft. His movie knowledge borders on encyclopedic. He gets everyone in class involved and gives us the confidence to feel like we belong in the industry. I appreciate Thane’s feedback style. He helps diagnose areas to improve without being overly prescriptive with solutions. He comments and questions and then lets us come up with changes. It’s satisfying because it keeps us in creative control of our scripts. Yet these fixes wouldn’t have happened if not first prompted by his shrewd comments.” — Maxwell Enrique

PHOTO / VIDEO DISCLAIMER: Script Anatomy reserves the exclusive right to use any photograph/video/audio taken at any Script Anatomy class, without requiring the permission of those included within the photograph/video. Script Anatomy may use the photograph/video/audio for educational, commercial, marketing or publicity purposes without limitation, and in perpetuity.
INSTRUCTOR DISCLAIMER: Since all of Script Anatomy’s instructors are working writers, opportunities sometimes arise in their careers that prohibit them from teaching. Change of instructor doesn’t qualify you, the student, a refund unless that refund falls under our normal refund rules. By paying and signing up for this class you are acknowledging and agreeing that the original instructor of this class may change before the class begins.
AI USE POLICY: Script Anatomy is a craft-based screenwriting program. Our work here is built on the belief that writing is a skill developed through practice, feedback, and revision, not something that can be outsourced.
Your own material: While we know some writers use AI tools for researching and brainstorming, we ask that the scripts and pages you bring to class represent your own writing and creative decisions. Using AI tools to generate scenes, dialogue, or structure in place of your own work undermines the purpose of the program and is highly discouraged.
Other writers’ material: As a reminder, everything shared in this room, scripts, pitches, and personal shares, falls under the “cone of silence” category and is also considered someone’s original work and IP (intellectual property). Please don’t run anyone else’s material through ChatGPT, Claude, Sudowrite, or any other AI tool. Writers in this industry are understandably protective of their work, and we treat that seriously.
Please note that classes are for individuals aged 18 and older.
