From the Organizer:
Join the Greater Cleveland Film Commission for an exclusive workshop with horror & comedy writer, producer, and director Casper Kelly.
Kelly is the co-writer and director of the 2026 Sundance Film Festival hit "Buddy", which filmed in Cleveland and launches its world premiere on August 28th.
His credits include the Emmy-nominated workplace comedy "Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell," "V/H/S Halloween," "Archer," "Aqua Teen Hunger Force," "Star Trek: Very Short Treks", "Night of the Living Doo", and more for Adult Swim, Netflix, Hulu, and Shudder.
Learn how to get your screenwriting start from an industry expert at the Cleveland Institute of Art’s INTERACTIVE MEDIA LAB! Explore film and TV script structure, plot twists, dialogue, character development, and more.
Perfect for aspiring and mid-level writers looking to elevate their storytelling and bring their projects to life. Bring your ideas, and one lucky attendee will be selected to receive feedback on their 1-2 page script from Casper and the class!
