The spirit of September often brings a crackle to the air. Kids are heading back to school. Festivities loom. There is a surge of energy and creativity, and you find yourself willing and wanting to learn. That screenplay on your “to-do list” is itching for your attention. You have to write!
But where to start? Do you begin with characters or plot? Or you have a beginning, but lose sight of your story in the middle and need some help with structure. Or you have the story, but don't know how it ends. Or you have the whole shebang in your head, but haven't put it onto paper!
Boy, some guidance would sure be swell.
Lew Hunter’s Indian Summer Screenwriting Colony, this coming September 13-26, immerses you into that nurturing, fulltime screenwriting experience you desire.

The Indian Summer Screenwriting Colony is designed to provide you with a productive, cocoon environment for your writing where you will be encouraged to progress from story idea, to treatment, to step-outline and finally to complete the First Act of the Screenplay (30 pages).
We will avail ourselves to the Victorian comfort of our small town, and immerse ourselves in the pursuit of writing. Every day will be filled with lecture, workshop and/or writing time. As you will soon discover, writing is the priority, but taking the time to socialize and discuss writing issues with your fellow participants is also a vital part of the Colony experience.
Ten advanced/pro writers will be in one section, and another ten rookies/"getting their toe into the water" writers will comprise the other section. Lew Hunter will lead the workshop and the lecture, and will facilitate the best writing by creating an atmosphere of constructive feedback for all participants.
The Indian Summer Screenwriting Colony fills rapidly and it is strongly suggested that you submit an application at your earliest opportunity to ensure acceptance and availability.
All skill levels of writing experience are encouraged to apply and to participate. We can easily accommodate the most basic beginner to the most experienced professional. All writers will be respected, honored and supported through the writing process.
This is the complete immersion writing experience that will take your screenwriting and dreams to the next level. Don't put either on hold any longer.
