Rewrite: Your Final Draft

Rewrite: Your Final Draft

When you sit down to rewrite a script without an in-depth development process it can take years to create a draft that actually works. This is because you have to be great at every craft of screenwriting, all at the same time: structure, character-development, dialogue, scene construction, theme, conflict, stakes, subtext, and many more.

This course starts with a Super Assessment of your current draft. With a game-plan in place, this course will teach you our custom-built development process to help you focus on the right next step, to re-build your screenplay and improve every aspect of your writing. We've been teaching our custom-built concept-to-page rewriting process to passionate and disciplined screenwriters since 2014, creating professional screen properties.

Our 8-Session Online Course is 100% focused on your project, creating rapid tangible progress in every session.

Perfect for rewriting:
• Feature Film Screenplays
• One Hour TV/Streaming Pilot Scripts
• Half Hour TV/Streaming Pilot Scripts 

Embrace the freedom of the blank page and build a new draft from the foundations up.
