Back to Basics
Forty years in film and TV taught me that the path to screenwriting success consists of:
- understanding what a great script looks like.
- training the muscle memory to write in proper format.
- building the habit of translating images into action words.
- developing the analytical skills to edit and improve your work.
A multi-million dollar industry of screenwriting training is built on just that last point.
But they are overlooking the first three. In this course, we cover every step—and you’ll be surprised how easy and enjoyable it can be.
Immerse yourself—and learn.
