Muslim Fest: A Creative Writing Workshop on Scriptwriting
On July 20, as part of Muslim Fest, Acting by Sarfraz (ABS) hosted a vibrant scriptwriting workshop that explored story, screenplay, and dialogue. The event welcomed participants of all ages and backgrounds, fostering creativity and a shared love for storytelling.
Introduction
On July 20, as part of Muslim Fest, Acting by Sarfraz (ABS) hosted a unique Writing Workshop on Scriptwriting that brought together participants from all walks of life. The workshop focused on the three essential pillars of filmmaking—story, screenplay, and dialogue—helping aspiring writers and enthusiasts understand how raw ideas can be transformed into compelling scripts.
What made this workshop truly special was its diversity. From early teens to participants in their 60s, people of different educational and cultural backgrounds came together, united by one passion: storytelling.
Breaking Down the Elements of Scriptwriting
The session was designed to simplify the art of writing for the screen. Each participant learned how stories evolve into structured narratives through a clear three-step approach:
- Story – Participants were given topics to craft short stories, exploring their imagination and personal voice.
- Screenplay – From these stories, they learned how to structure a screenplay for a couple of scenes, applying formatting and visual storytelling techniques.
- Dialogue – The session emphasized how dialogue brings characters to life, giving depth and emotion to the written word.
This interactive process helped students realize that scriptwriting isn’t just about creativity—it’s also about discipline and structure.
A Workshop for All Ages
One of the highlights of the session was the wide age group of participants. Young students explored storytelling for the first time, while older attendees shared perspectives shaped by life experiences. This mix created an inspiring environment where creativity had no boundaries.
For many attendees, this was their first exposure to scriptwriting, and the workshop left them curious to learn more about how professional films are written. The feedback reflected appreciation for the balance between theory and practical exercises.
Why Workshops Like This Matter
Events like the Muslim Fest Writing Workshop highlight the importance of accessible creative education. By breaking down the basics of scriptwriting, ABS made the process approachable for beginners while still valuable for more experienced participants.
The workshop also reinforced that storytelling belongs to everyone—regardless of age, background, or culture. When people from different communities collaborate and share their stories, the art of cinema becomes even richer and more authentic.
The Path Ahead
This workshop was not just about learning—it was about inspiring participants to take their first steps into the world of filmmaking. With growing interest, Acting by Sarfraz aims to host more sessions, giving budding storytellers a chance to sharpen their craft and discover the power of visual storytelling.
