Screenwriting Essentials

Screenwriting Essentials

Screenwriting Essentials was created with you in mind. It is specifically designed for novice screenwriters who are starting the writer’s journey. However, all writers are welcome.

In the video tutorials that follow I will refer again and again to only one film, Monster’s Inc. PLEASE take time to watch this film in its entirety so you get the most out of the lessons. You’ll be glad you did.

My COURSE GOALS for YOU

1. How to write a screenplay for a movie.

2. Learn the basic steps of modern screenwriting.

3. Develop habits to motivate yourself to finish.

4. Familiarize yourself with essential terminology

5. How to ask for feedback that will fuel your rewrite.

6. Marketing tips for your completed script.

This is where YOU enter the scene! Every writer you admire started where you are now – knowing very little about how a story works but excited by an idea that demands to be written.

The world needs more screenwriters, not fewer. We need screenwriters who are still passionate and filled with commitment to their work and to their story.

I understand that new writers need advice on how to begin the process of writing for the screen. And sometimes it can be confusing.... So, I’m delighted that you’re starting your journey here!
