WRIING
Turn your passion for storytelling into now screenwriting
and give your talent a bigger space to grow with AAFT. Let
your ideas transform into a plot and give life to your
characters for a bigger frame like TV, Films, and OTT.

Narrative storytelling and visual storytelling for the big

screen are two different ballgames. Screenwriting is a
major collaborative work involving the fine nuances of
creative storytelling that can keep the audience glued to
the screen. This art and craft of writing scripts for mass
media is a specialization that involves many more
techniques than the solitary process of writing a story
for a novel. The rich film-making background of AAFT
brings you the secret sauce of polished and pitch-ready
script in just a few weeks.
