Description

The purpose of this course is not just to produce a single script-although that will happen. The real purpose is to show you the structure of scripts and how to produce "marketable" scripts is a minimal amount of time.

What do I mean by "marketable"?

A marketable script is one that has all of the following:

  • Interesting characters with human qualities
  • A plot that grabs the viewer and has them begging to know what happens next
  • Enough locations to make things interesting without breaking the budget
  • Has it been done before? Better?

These criteria are not insurmountable. The trick is not to take your own writing too seriously, and to be willing to consider constructive criticism. And most importantly, realize that there are thousands of aspiring writers like you out there-don`t get discouraged.

I will provide you with some fundamentals, but the majority of this course is you writing and my editing. I take each script seriously, and work diligently to help you create good stories with believable characters.


Outcomes

I will work with you each step of the way developing ideas, designing dialogue and action sequences that work and crafting an engaging and exciting story.


Assessment

By the end of this course you will have completed a feature-length script suitable for submission to agents and producers.
