Beginning on September 3, 2024, Trilith Institute is implementing semester-length courses for writers and creatives in the film industry.

Classes, offered in-person and virtually, are currently open for enrollment and include:

• Screenwriting Essentials 
• Narrative Directing for Screen 
• Acting for Camera with Alliance Theatre 
• The Business of Independent Filmmaker 
• Foundations of Filmmaking 
• Sketch Comedy Writing with Dad’s Garage 
• Introduction to VFX and Animation
• Cinematic Storyboarding 

“While Georgia’s film and television production business has seen a remarkable $4 billion boom, our state’s entertainment industry remains incomplete,” explained Trilith’s CEO, Jeffrey Stepakoff. “We continue to send our writers out of state because we do not have a full entertainment ecosystem here. Trilith Institute is building a new model to retain our writers and creative class by fostering their development and providing them with crucial access.”  

Furthermore, Trilith Institute has introduced an Emerging Creative Residency Program aimed at up-and-coming writers and directors. Participants chosen for this residency program will get to live in the Town of Trilith, receive film production funding, and have connections to the resources of Trilith Institute.
