The Trilith Institute is offering new semester-length education courses for creatives and writers beginning on Sept. 3.
The nonprofit will offer professional courses for aspiring film and television writers, as well as classes about television and film development. The initial block of classes will run from September to December, and enrollment is already open, according to a press release.
“Storytellers are fundamental to the entertainment industry. While Georgia’s film and television production business has seen a remarkable $4 billion boom, our state’s entertainment industry remains incomplete,” said Jeffrey Stepakoff, president and CEO of Trilith Institute, in the release. “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.
Trilith Institute has also launched an Emerging Creative Residency Program for aspiring writers and directors. Applications for the 2025 iteration of that program will be open later this year. According to the release, those selected for this initiative will live at the Town of Trilith, will receive production funding for their work, and will have access to Trilith Institute’s resources and partners.
The new classes will be available virtually as well as in person at Trilith Studios Production Centre, located at 461 Sandy Creek Road in Fayetteville. The classes 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, and Cinematic Storyboarding.
Prices for classes range from about $250 to $1,500 per class. The Trilith Institute will also continue to offer its regular workshops for writers and creatives.
