Better Than Sex: Advertisers say "sex sells," but in the movie business, many readers, producers, actors enjoy good comedy more than sex in screenplays. No matter what genre you write, it can benefit by writing better humor. Dramas, thrillers, mysteries, sci-fi's, and horror flicks all have some comedy in them.
But if you're writing in the romantic comedy or comedy genre, you had better be a professional at writing comedy. Many studio readers want a "laugh-a-page" from a comedy screenplay. One of the marks of a great writer is their ability to evoke emotion in a reader. That emotion could be fear, concern, sadness, love or laughter. Of all of those, laughter is said to be the most difficult...until you know how to cause it. Whether you're writing a comedy or any other genre, this program will be valuable for you. We've analyzed some of the best comedies and present methods to write at their level.
As you see above, we work with one area of comedy writing each day. You'll have an assignment each day that will give you a deeper understanding of that day's skill. By the time you leave this program, you'll have the understanding to put more comedy in any script you write. Comedy writing will be within your control, just like other forms of writing.
