To break into the screenwriting business, the goal is to write a script that gets you noticed. As new, unestablished writers, you have to write something that is exciting and fresh and *pops!* No matter how good a writer you are, people won't read it if it's not intriguing.
Richard Lowe is one of our own success stories and here he tells about how his wildly high concept script got him noticed in the industry! He will discuss what inspired him to make his writing brave and bold after more traditional ideas were getting him nowhere. Richard will reveal the methods he used to harness his own life experiences and emotions and how you can apply them to characters and setting outside of your own reality.
This 90-Min Webinar Covers:
- Contests vs. Real-World Industry
- Getting Execs to Read Your Script
- Writing High-Concept Scripts
- How to write something outside the box yet have it feel familiar and appear traditional
- The importance of a writing sample *(even if it isn’t producible!)*
- How to find the personal angle to make your script come to life
