About Us

Senaryo Okulu is a learning and writing platform that teaches screenwriting through short, hands-on lessons and turns what you learn into your own project in the same place. Our goal isn't to get you to finish a course; it's to help you become a writer who keeps writing.

Why we exist

Someone who wants to learn screenwriting usually runs into one of two things: workshops tied to a calendar, or videos that get watched and forgotten. Both share the same problem — you learn a lot and write nothing.

Senaryo Okulu was built for that gap. We don't stop at explaining; at the end of every lesson, what you write is added to a real project. When a chapter ends you don't hold a certificate, you hold the core of a film.

Our mission

To turn learning screenwriting into a writing habit. We do it with three things: small lessons you can actually finish, a concrete writing task in every lesson, and a workspace that keeps what you write.

The measure of our teaching is whether you can write without us. If someone leaves here still dependent on the platform, we haven't done our job well.

Our vision

To be the first stop for anyone who wants to write screenplays and short films: a school built around writing, tied to production, with its door open.

Senaryo Okulu started in Turkish, and the lessons are being brought into English one act at a time. In the long run we're not aiming for a solo learning tool but a community that reads each other's work, builds crews and makes films together. That's why the Community feed and member profiles exist.

Principles we don't change

Craft is taught; creative choices aren't judged. Format and technique are assessed — whether your idea, theme or tone is “good” is not for us to decide.
There are no scores. Art isn't measured in percentages; feedback comes as observation, not as a grade.
Write first, fix later. A first draft has one job: to exist. Perfectionism is an obstacle to get past.
Every lesson teaches one main idea. Two topics means two lessons.
No one is left alone with a blank page. Every task comes with a starting point.
We don't write for you. Examples are shown; your text stays yours.

What we offer in English

Here is what is open in English today. The Short Film School, the Library and the opportunities calendar (competitions, festivals, funding) are currently available in Turkish only.

Screenwriting lessons — a hands-on path that starts from zero and opens in order. The lessons of the first act are open in English; the later acts are being translated.
Senaryum — the editor that makes writing in standard screenplay format easy.
Film Lab — the workspace where your idea, logline and structure grow into a project, lesson by lesson.
Community — a daily feed for people who make short films and cinema; introductions, questions, finding a crew. Most conversations there are currently in Turkish.

Transparency

We care about saying clearly what we collect and what we don't. What we can confirm today: if you don't have an account, the texts you write in Film Lab and Senaryum never leave your device; if you do, the same texts are stored with your account only so they can be given back to you, and they're never shown to anyone. What you write never enters the measurement pipeline. There are no advertising or marketing trackers on the site; the Google Analytics setup we use for visitor measurement is cookieless and advertising signals are denied from the start. Raw IP addresses are not kept in our application database.

Our usage measurement isn't anonymous, it's pseudonymous: a random participant code is written to your browser once. That code isn't linked to your name or your account, but it does link visits from the same browser to each other. It has no expiry date; it stays until you clear your browser data or reset your progress in the app.

The full Privacy Policy is published (the Privacy link at the bottom of the page): you'll find the list of what is and isn't collected there. The Terms of Use are in the same place.

How to reach us

Just fill in the form on the Contact page: suggestions, complaints, bug reports, account and password problems, partnerships or personal data requests. You don't need an account.

The second channel is the Community: you can ask a question, share a suggestion or report a bug you ran into. The Community is public, so don't share personal details there.

Frequently asked questions

Will there be a paid tier later?

Some advanced features may move to a paid tier in the future. Any such change will be announced in advance and clearly; something that's open today won't be closed without notice.

Do I need an account to read the lessons?

No. Every lesson that's open in English can be read without an account, and so can the curriculum pages and the Community feed. The account exists so your writing isn't lost: with an account your work is stored with you, and you can pick up where you left off on another device.

Do you read the screenplay I write?

No. If you don't have an account, your texts never leave your device. If you do, they're stored with your account so you can carry on from another device — to give them back to you, not to read them. They're never shown to anyone, never enter measurement and aren't used to train AI. Only the posts and replies you deliberately share in the Community are visible to others.

Does AI write for me?

No. Our principle is clear: the platform doesn't write screenplays for you, it teaches you to write them. An AI-assisted coach is planned for a paid tier; when it opens, its job will be to assess your text, not to write it for you.

How can I reach you?

You can write to us directly from the form on the Contact page; no account is needed. The second channel is the Community — you can post questions, suggestions and bug reports there too. The Community is public, so be careful not to share personal details.
