What sets this workshop apart isn’t just the content—it’s the method behind it. I don’t just teach you lessons; I show you how I arrived at them. You'll learn how I studied patterns in my favorite films and series, broke down what made them work, and used those insights to create the framework for this course. You’ll walk away not only with knowledge of the pre-writing process, but also the tools to find patterns in your own favorite movies/series and build your own personalized approach—one that you can lean on time again to "get reps in" and improve your craft as a screenwriter. This workshop is about more than learning my system; it’s about discovering how to develop your own.

Are Your Scripts Not Gaining Traction?
Throughout my entire career, I’ve heard countless screenwriters lament about how their scripts keep getting passed on and that they’re not finding any success with their writing. Their solution - WORK HARDER. However, most screenwriters treat writing like a numbers game and equate hard work to script output — keep writing scripts and eventually, one will sell. But that’s not necessarily going to make you a better screenwriter which is most likely the reason why your scripts getting passed on. Imagine if professional athletes took that approach—just played more games, compete in more competition and eventually you’ll win. They don't. When they lose, they get back in the gym and train. They identify weaknesses, design practice routines to address those weaknesses, and they do it consistently before even getting back on the playing field.
That's what this workshop is about.
You'll learn the pre-writing process which is a system based on the most common reasons scripts get passed on. This system is derived from patterns distilled from successful screenplays that gives you a way to think effectively about the five essential pillars of your story before you type "FADE IN." It's not about writing harder or faster. It's about writing smarter. About practicing your craft and getting your reps in off the field so when it comes time to open Final Draft, you will be that much better as a screenwriter and your resulting script will have a higher likelihood of finding success. Because selling your script doesn’t start with a new idea. It starts with a new approach.

Practice doesn’t make perfect Practice makes permanent
Just because you continue to write and churn out scripts, doesn't mean you're going to improve as a writer. Like elite athletes, you have to know how to practice and spend time in the gym to give you better results.
Passes are not always subjective
Learn how properly developing the five key conceits of your story will make your script objectively compelling so that the only reason for passing is purely subjective.
