After doing 2 day seminars for the past few years in London... I'm doing my Script Secrets Seminar in Los Angeles again.
Beverly Garland Hotel in Studio City (near Universal)
April 24 & 25, 2004
Only $200 if you register before 3/15
* The first 20 people to register will get a Special Producer's Blue Book - listing over 100 producers with contact info! *
SCRIPT SECRETS is an INTENSIVE two day course - screenwriting stripped of the theoretical nonsense! You'll spend all day Saturday and Sunday learning techniques that will improve your dialogue, description, story and screenwriting abilities! Plus a section on selling your script and managing your screenwriting career! Class includes a 120 page workbook with exercises, assignments (homework), forms and additional materials.
Unlike other screenwriting teachers, I actually earn my living writing scripts. I've had 17 features produced and my work was discussed on Siskel & Ebert's If We Picked The Winners Oscar show in 1997.
This course strips away all of the silly theories to focus on the bare essentials of screenwriting: finding the right idea, improving your story, structure, dialogue, description, visuals and characters. A screenplay should be as exciting to read as the movie will be to view, and that requires writing designed to involve the reader and audience. Using proven techniques, this course will guide you from idea to screenplay to polish to selling the script. Script Secrets is designed so that both beginners and professionals will come away with techniques they can use to improve their scripts.
