Pushing the Envelope

(Mark J. Terrill/ AP Photo )This class is all about one thing -- having your writing be extra- ordinary. It assumes that you already understand screenwriting and now the job is to make your writing captivating.

(Mark J. Terrill/ AP Photo )

There's a question that has been asked of me many times in the last month. It is...

Why did an unknown writer named Diablo Cody sell a script, work closely with the director, and ultimately win an Oscar?

Once you take this class, you'll understand why. You'll also know how to use those same skills to turn any script you write into something really special.

REQUIREMENT 1: You must bring in a completed script that you want to make a big improvement in.

REQUIREMENT 2: You must be willing to USE that script to learn these high-level skills. The focus will be learning so you can use these skills in every single script you write from this point on.

This is not a "rewrite class." It is an "amp up the voltage" on your script class. Read the days of the class and you'll know why this will take your writing to a new level.
