Here’s a description of the seminar:

Everyone knows how difficult screenwriting is but they might not realize how much more difficult it is without outlining. It’s hard enough to keep the story arch in mind while writing, but you also have to make sure that your protagonist has a dynamic journey of self-discovery and your antagonist is a three-dimensional force going on their own journey. Not to mention the subplots, the supporting characters, reflective locations, conflict in each scene and unique dialogue for each character. It’s a lot to think about all at once and I know I can’t do it. That is why we outline. In this seminar, we will:
– Learn how to systematically divide up your screenplay into small, manageable parts
– Learn how to develop a mid-point and act breaks that are entertaining, dynamic and emotionally satisfying
– Learn how to develop a Beat Sheet
– Learn how to layer multiple levels of information in each scene
– Learn how to make sure your scenes are taking your audience on a roller-coaster ride

It’s a stacked event with amazing speakers like Christopher Vogler, Bill True, Erica Byrne, Chris LaMont and Dara Marks!
