| Turn Your Script Into A Novel - Ondemand |
"ABOUT THE WEBINAR Your script is fantastic. It ™s tight, it ™s filmable, and it ™s ready to go right now. You KNOW it ™s going to be the next big thing, but you send it out �and crickets. Nobody cares, not because your script isn ™t awesome, but because nobody ™s talking about it. I felt that way too.

I got my work read by producers, optioned, and people started to see me as an authority in my field. It never would have happened if I didn ™t take my first scripts and adapt them into novels. Those scripts would still be sitting in a drawer and I would still be wondering what to do next. But I know what to do now, because I ™ve done it. And I want to show you exactly how to do it too. Because I know you have an awesome story, and I know "

| Writing A Tv Movie And Breaking Into The Business - Ondemand |
"ABOUT THE WEBINAR The hardest part of building a career as a screenwriter is breaking in. As the major studios continue to shrink the number of theatrical films they produce each year (and base more and more of them on comic books) the difficulty of breaking into theatrical feature films has never been harder. However, as the number of broadcast, cable and online networks continues to increase, the need for original television movies has never been greater. Individual networks cater to a specific audience and often produce a specific genre of film, so if you write a television movie that caters to the needs of a specific network, the odds of selling it are greatly increased. This is the Golden Age of television and even though there are currently a vast number of opportunities, the business is still extremely competitive. It ™s still exceedingly difficult to land a coveted job on a series without an agent or manager, but Lynn and other writers have been able to find work in te"

Encapsulating everything that ™s great about your project into a logline or even a one sheet can feel daunting. Enter: pitch packages.

| Advanced Plot Construction: Developing And Outlining Your Story - |
"ABOUT THE WEBINAR Once you ™ve sketched out your story idea, it ™s time to develop and outline it. This is the craft of plot construction and Jeff Kitchen has been teaching it for over twenty years now. His three-step process, Sequence, Proposition, Plot is so effective at this that development executives at all the major Hollywood studios (to whom he's taught it) consistently say it's the most advanced development tool in the film industry. Not only is it a remarkably powerful outlining process, but it helps tighten and dramatize the material as you develop it, by focusing on cause and effect as well as conflict. You tend to want good cause and effect because it gives your story a crisp forward momentum, such that plot point A causes plot point B which causes plot point C, and so on. You create this by working backward from your ending, chaining back from each effect to its cause. By creating this tight linkage, you separate the necessary from the unnecessary; a"
