STRUCTURE YOUR SCREENPLAY
Saturday, December 6th 9am PT/12pm ET
2 hours/$40 USD
​
We’ll break down the key beats—inciting incident, break into two, midpoint, crisis, climax, and more—that give your script momentum and shape - and discuss the larger sequences they're part of to give you two perspectives on your script. Whether you’re writing an action movie, a family drama, a horror film, or a one-hour ensemble TV show, you’ll see how structure raises dramatic questions and keeps audiences hooked through to a satisfying conclusion. With plenty of film and TV examples, we’ll show how to cement these “rules” in your writer’s toolbox—so you can get creative and bend them in the best ways.
Visit Death or Story for Coaching & Editorial Services
Writing is a solo endeavor - until it isn't. Sometimes you have to bounce ideas off someone to get un-stuck, or get a professional story edit to find out if what you've written is as good as you think it is. Or maybe you just need some cheerleading to make sure you'll finish the damn thing. I'm happy to offer these services and have coached many writers with their screenplays, works of fiction and non-fiction. No matter what system you subscribe to - Save the Cat, The Hero's Journey, Robert MCkee - I can meet you where you are on your storytelling journey and get you to the next step.
