We've all had the experience of writing a feature and realizing that keeping the structure tight, the character arc satisfying and the plot free of holes is much more challenging than we thought it was. Feature films are no small undertaking, but that's why a solid outline is critical to any feature draft.
Join this class and walk away with an outline that's ready to go to pages!
This Three Week Clinic Will Cover:
- The 3 Act Structure
- Character Arcs & Plotting
- Feedback on Your Beat Sheet & Outline
