Did you know the number one reason screenplays get rejected in Hollywood is improper formatting? Formatting errors signal to readers that you're an amateur, and your script may never get read—it goes straight to the trash.
Contrary to common belief, screenplays should not be dry, perfunctory, or purely technical. The best screenplays are beautifully written, exciting works of art—every bit as riveting as your favorite novel.
This course will teach you not only how to master the technical components of industry-standard formatting but also how to use formatting artistically.
Proficiency in industry-standard formatting for screenwriting
Artistic techniques to maximize the possibilities of the medium
Increased confidence in presenting your work to industry professionals
Tools to get the attention of Hollywood execs and make sure your script stands out
We'll use a 3-pronged learning approach to maximize your overall learning experience:
Instruction: Watch the video lessons and absorb the instruction.
Practice: Hone your skills through assigned writing exercises and prompts.
Peer Learning: Learn from others by reading produced scripts and participating in "Designated Student" sessions.
This approach aims to inspire you to acquire the skills and techniques of the greats while learning from the mistakes of peers who have graciously allowed us to analyze their first attempts.
Screenwriting is challenging, even for seasoned novelists. It's okay to make mistakes—it's essential! Embrace the learning curve to become a master of the craft.

Reading well-written screenplays is one of the fastest and most effective ways to learn. I encourage you to read at least one professionally written screenplay per module. You'll have more than one option whenever it's time to choose. Take advantage of this learning season by reading as many well-written scripts as possible.
