It's almost that time of year! Cozy sweaters (or tankinis), hot cocoa (or iced mochas), and holiday movies. Holiday movies span a wide breadth of tone, from It's A Wonderful Life, Elf, The Grinch, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Die Hard to Jingle Jangle, Christmas Chronicles, and Love Actually.
But every year over FIFTY new holiday ROMANCES premiere during the season. No, you're not delirious from chugging absinthe-laced egg nog! You read that right: FIFTY+. From Hallmark and Netflix, to other companies getting in the game, Christmas is as hot as ever. So if you have the next A Royal Christmas, Christmas Prince, etc. then you wanna jump into this course.
Writing a holiday movie is a great career move. But how do you actually do it? What is the structure, what are the expectations, and the requirements? And how do you rise above the crowd and get noticed?
Join Roadmap alumna Lisa Hepner to get the tools you need to write your own holiday romance and build a career!
This Two Week Clinic Will Cover:
- Writing the holiday romance
- The 9 act structure
- Building a career
- Getting a movie made
- Live Q&A
