An intensive one day lecture, seminar, and workshop for new and experienced film and television writers, agents, managers, producers, executives and all people who care about film and TV.
Spec scripts sell today as never before, and for unprecedented prices. Clearly, the spec script represents every writer's smartest marketing strategy. And spec scripts that sell are those that tell a compelling story. You've taken seminars, but you're still not writing; or you're writing but your scripts don't work. By popular demand, here is an opportunity to study with America's premier screenwriting educator and author of the hot new book, ESCAPE FROM FILM SCHOOL.
This seminar motivates, empowers, liberates and enables writers to WRITE THEIR OWN BEST SCRIPT.
The seminar includes a copy of Richard Walter's book, THE WHOLE PICTURE.
Professor Walter discusses STORY, CHARACTER, IDENTITY, DIALOGUE, SCENE, THEME and SETTING, and IN-CLASS EXERCISES treating STORY CRAFTING, SCENE ANALYSIS, PITCHING, CONFLICT and PROFESSIONAL NETWORKING.
Other topics covered are EMOTIONAL STATEGIES and ATTITUDES including supporting your writing habit, WRITERS BLOCK and TACKLE, EGO, CRITICISM, REJECTION, ECSTASY, HEARTACHE, and SURVIVAL, and much, much more. Richard Walter, a member of the Writers Guild of America for over twenty-five years, is a writer of substantial professional experience throughout the media. He is a published novelist, and the author of two best selling screenwriting books, THE WHOLE PICTURE, SCREENWRITING–The ART, CRAFT, and BUSINESS of FILM and TELEVISION WRITING.
