Ah, the early pages of your script. So fun, so exciting, but also so fraught with potential peril. After all, we've all heard the dreaded "well, I got to page X and then you lost me" from an exec at some point. The truth is, when everyone has so much to read, keeping a reader engaged and excited about your script at page 10, 30, 100 is no easy feat.
The good news is, it can absolutely be done, and Geoff LaTulippe is here to show us how!
This 90-Minute Webinar Will Cover:
- Establishing your tone
- Pacing and scene structure
- Writing characters that make us want to keep reading
Geoff moved to Los Angeles in 2004 with no money, one wing, and half a prayer. He was a Reader for several major studios and production companies for over four years before selling his first screenplay in 2008. That movie got made into the 2010 New Line Cinema release GOING THE DISTANCE, put a credit on his resume, taught him invaluable lessons, and since then...he is still waiting on getting his *second* movie produced. But he's carved out a strong and steady career as a WGA member over the last 15 years and gets energized these days by helping and guiding writers to discover their best work and their best selves.
Geoff LaTulippe's insights on the pages of my work have been transformative, elevating it to a compelling page-turner. His approach is direct and incisive, offering feedback from someone who has navigated similar challenges and genuinely aspires to foster growth in others' writing abilities. Geoff's guidance is practical and deeply empathetic, reflecting a sincere desire to assist in developing one's writing craft. I plan to seek Geoff's expertise for future consultations on my work. His experience is an indispensable resource for writers aiming to refine their stories and enhance their impact.
