The Screenwriter

I'm gonna teach you my method of writing a screenplay. When I first started writing, I made quite a few mistakes that would come to bite me in the behind. I don't want that to happen to you. Luckily, I made them now before I end up going up higher in my career as a screenwriter. Now this may come as a shock to you, but I do not think that screenwriting can be taught. But you're taking a course on it.

Yeah, I know, but hear me out. Think about all the films that you have seen. You most likely have a set of reasons for why you liked those particular films. If you list those reasons, I am willing to bet they will differ each time. Some will have similar reasons, but they will be different for the most part. The point I am making is that at its core, screenwriting is storytelling. You can teach structure and how to create characters, but not how to tell a story. A lot of stories are good for different reasons. 

Who this course is for:

• Beginner Screenwriters.
• Intermediate and Expert writers looking for new resources. I have compiled some documents which I believe will be helpful.
