elp you understand structure and style and the principles of screen Writing. The Hero's Journey By Joseph Campbell Joseph Campbell has a number of books about myth and mythmaking and the hero Check them out. It's an incredible primer for all of the work that we're doing. The art of Dramatic Writing by Lejos agree. This is a great book about premise, a great book, especially for screenwriters and for theater writers. And for anybody who works in drama, it's really a wonderful, wonderful introduction and exploration of what creates drama in a scene and then save the cat. Save the Cat is a really great book. The premise here of the book is you've got to create a likable character and, if not likable, sympathetic so that the audience identifies with that person and is rooting for them. And so Blake Snyder's advice is to start your movie by saving the cat, having them having the protagonists do something that elicits affection from the audience. Affection is my words, not his.

Lastly, I want to say thank you, thank you to you for taking the class and being a part of my journey. I hope that I've been a significant part of your writing journey. Thank you to our friends at creative life for having me. This has been a wonderful experience and, you know, I started as a writer very young in my life. I was probably nine or 10 when I first wrote a short story actually was a poem about my family, and I wrote a poem, My family, My parents were having this, like, particularly tense and toxic moment in their relationship. And I wrote this really over the top, totally histrionic dramatic poem about how my mother's tears formed a puddle at the base of our family tree, and it was published in the school literary magazine, and the school literary magazine went home in the mail, and my dad discovered it. My dad read the poem and chased me into the bathroom, chased me up the steps into the bathroom, closed the door. He banged down the door, busted his way through it and said, If you ever write about this family again, I'm gonna shove that typewriter where the sun don't shine And I said, Uh, I don't have a typewriter, but I really want one for Christmas and I haven't stopped writing about my family since I read about a lot of other things now, as an adult as well. The point. Don't stop writing. Just keep writing, no matter what the obstacles are. Even if that obstacle happens to be a 5 ft 10 Harry Italian man who is telling you not to do it. Do it. Just do it. Hope this class has been good for you Season.

Just a great way to start on your path to screenwriting. A clear and concise class with a friendly tone and humor. I think it is important that a teacher has actually worked in the field. Kudos.

Perfect for a beginner or actors who need a better understanding of what is and why is. Info packed and FUN too!

I took this class last year. And after one year of working with presented tools (story design worksheet, story fundamentals workseet, seed to script process) on different projects I can say that it is very powerful and useful course I ever taken. I can strongly recommend this detailed screenwriting guidance by Julio Vincent Gambuto.
