Story
Seminar by Robert McKee
Robert McKee's passion recognizes
the cultural importance of story creation with stunning clarity. Stories
are not just entertainment but rather the stuff of which shapes the way
we conduct our lives and develop our culture. Story is what makes a good
movie, book, or play a great one with lasting significance. McKee's 'Story'
shows how Structure is created of Character not plot, rules, and formulae.
True emotional revelation for the audience is achieved by the interplay
of Characters and Events impacting each other to resolution. This comprehensive,
3-Day writing workshop is a superbly organized presentation of all elements
involved from beginning to advanced screenplay writing and creative writing.
"Knowledge of story design is just as vital for the novelist as it is for the screenwriter. No one imparts this wisdom like Robert McKee. He is not only the best teacher of writing I've ever had, but the best teacher of ANYTHING." - STEVE PRESSFIELD, Author of “The Legend of Bagger Vance,” “Gates Of Fire”
"...stimulating, innovative, refreshingly
practical." - LAWRENCE KASDAN, Screenwriter/Director, “The Empire Strikes
Back,” “The Bodyguard,” “The Big Chill,” “The Accidental Tourist”
6-Week
TV Pilot Development Workshop
Are you thinking about writing an
original pilot? If you want to make TV $$ as a staff writer or sell original
ideas it’s a must have spec script!
“I am ONLY interested in reading
original material. Feature scripts are okay but since time is a factor…
it is better to have a spec pilot.”
— Bruce Brown, Veteran Agent and
Manager
Whether your pilot is a one hour, half hour or three minute webisode, there’s a whole lot of development that is crucial before you sit down to write your pilot script—they don’t call it Development Hell for nothing.
But you don’t have to face it alone.
We have help:
ASA Board member Ellen Sandler is bringing her popular TV PILOT WORKSHOP to The Writers Store. This 6 week workshop meets one night each week from 7:30PM to 10:30PM – You’ll get an intensive, process oriented approach for professional caliber results.
You’ll work with an Emmy nominated
pro who has sold, and created pilots for ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox Family, Oxygen,
the Disney Channel, CTV (Canada) and The Australian Children’s Television
Foundation. Under Ellen’s guidance you’ll put into practice her proven
tactics for transforming your ideas into a great original pilot. She promises
it will be creative, surprising and fun! (Some writers have called it better
than therapy.)
