Trilith Institute Announces Slate of Educational Film and TV Courses

'Superman' Crew Member Confirmed as Worker Who Died by Suicide at Atlanta's Trilith Studios

The non-profit Trilith Institute, part of production studio Trilith Studios, is unveiling a series of educational courses to develop aspiring TV and film writers as well as content creators.

“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,” says Jeffrey Stepakoff, President and CEO of Trilith Institute. “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. These new professional courses join our roster of innovative initiatives, including our ongoing workshops, Emerging Creative Residency Program, Writers Room of Georgia, and Script to Screen Summer Camp, reinforcing our commitment and mission as champions of creative expression.”

The non-profit is set to TV and film courses such as Screenwriting Essentials, Narrative Directing For Screen and Animation Cinematic Storyboarding. Classes will begin Sept. 3. You can enroll at TrilithInstitute.org .
