How to write a script for a short-film? For freshmen at cinema schools or amateur filmmakers, short films provide them opportunities to be creative, freely develop their ideas and gain more experience. 

In our quick course on scriptwriting for short films, students will learn about short film, its concept and structure. They will know how to brainstorm for a short film as well as various scriptwriting methods. 

In order to encourage and seek for talented and potential young filmmakers, the Short filmmaking Fund of the Center for Development and Assistance of Movie Talents (TPD Center) will provide financial support (VND 60,000,000 at most) for the making of 4 short films.

The making of those short films will give young filmmakers the opportunities to freely reveal their creativeness. If your short films are of good quality, they will possibly be sent to national and international film festivals.
