In the meantime, just just the facts, Ma'am.
My first attempt at teaching screenplay structural elements went fine from my end--so that was a relief. I was really prepared, and even had an imperfect translated version to work from in case there was not a translator. My fancy custom-made DVDs looked good, and I had come up with pretty good transitions for my subject matter.
From the end that was not mine, the workshop--and the entire series of workshops that might was part of--was disastrous. A mountain of misinformation and non-information meant that some workshops never happened, and those that did were ill-attended (as was mine)...
So, incredibly long story short--it was pretty fucked up, but I didn't fuck it up. I spent more time, money and mental resources than I had budgeted, and the results were sub-par, but I also bonded with some talented people from all over the world who were in the same boat. So in the "everything happens for a reason" line of thinking, it remains to be seen what might come of those relationships in the long run.
