Tribeca Enterprises and Epic Games have started a “Writing in Unreal” program to train filmmakers to make independent movies with the Unreal game engine.

The three-day program will take place from November 16 to November 18 in New York and expose independent filmmakers to the Unreal Engine and its suite of 3D creation tools. The aim is to help indie filmmakers to craft their scripts. Tribeca Enterprise is the creator of the Tribeca Film Festival.
