FADE IN: The Art of Screenwriting (and the Bitterness of Writing One) pulls back the curtain on one of the most alluring—and misunderstood—forms of storytelling. Blending iconic industry wisdom with hard-earned personal insight\, this workshop explores what it truly means to write for the screen\, where creative passion meets brutal odds\, endless rewrites\, and the relentless pursuit of story clarity. \nEqual parts reality check and love letter\, this session is designed for novelists\, short-story writers\, memoirists\, and aspiring screenwriters who are curious about adapting their work—or starting fresh—for film and television. And yes… if you’ve ever secretly wondered whether your story could be the next Oscar-worthy masterpiece\, this might just be your first step. \nGeordie Sabbagh is a filmmaker and screenwriter known for his sharp storytelling\, candid perspective\, and deep respect for the creative process. With a career that spans writing\, filmmaking\, and performance\, Geordie brings a rare blend of industry knowledge\, humour\, and hard truth to his work with writers.
