Successful directors, producers and writers do not use the methods taught in the screenwriting books and seminars.

In fact, their approaches often fly directly in the face of conventional wisdom found in such sources.

Which is why, when I bring in agents, managers or producers to speak at my UCLA classes, they always say they can spot a script written to one of the popular formulas a mile away and that these scripts are always rejected.

Even worse, they will no longer look at any scripts submitted again by that writer.

 

ORGANIC STORY STRUCTURE WORKSHOP

This intensive workshop is for writers wishing to move beyond cookie-cutter formulas and paradigms to a deeper understanding of how to create the kinds of personalized impactful stories required to succeed in the current marketplace.

Participants learn Stacked Sequence Construction, Compelling Questions, Heart of Darkness, Bisociation Story Engines, and the HERO approach needed for true organic story structure. This training can’t be found anywhere else.

Participants design and write two different 10 page targeted sequences, and get both of them evaluated by the teachers, as well as receive individualized process coaching on their writing.

 

PREREQUISITE 

Since this workshop builds off the tools and skills taught in the Professional Screenwriting and TV Writing Workshop, writers must have successfully completed that class before tackling the Organic Story Structure Workshop.

The On-Demand version of the Professional Screenwriting and TV Writing Workshop also satisfies the prerequisite for this class.

 

WHERE

The workshops are offered on Zoom, allowing writers to attend from all over the world.

 

COST

$695. Participants may pay by credit card or Paypal account.
