Screenwriting 101: How to Sell Your Screenplay in Hollywood

Description

Join over 100,000 students learning from our courses!

Most seminars and books attempt to teach the frustrated screenwriter what to do and what not to do; this course will outline how to do it - how to develop habits that will lead to more joy in the writing process and better scripts.

The only way to guarantee a script request is to interest and excite the listener with your pitch. Presenting techniques from the most successful pitchers in the biz, author Karl Iglesias shows students how to ignite the executive’s interest. Topics include:

• An insider’s view of the do’s and don’ts of pitching to producers.

• The essential elements of a great pitch.

• How to distill your story into a pitchable and enticing logline.

• How to develop your verbal confidence by practicing your pitch until it shines.

You also learn how to deepen the reader's response. A must for any writer who’s mastered the basics but has yet to break the barrier. Focusing on the key ingredient of all successful scripts — the reader’s emotional response — UCLA screenwriting instructor Karl Iglesias shows students fresh ways to evoke emotion on every page of their scripts.

• Why emotion is the key to successful screenwriting.

• What readers look for talented writers.

• “Good” and “bad” screenplay examples.

• Why A-list screenwriters keep getting hired.

BONUS: Included in this course is the Screenwriting Secrets: Learn from Hollywood Screenwriters

In Screenwriting Secrets: Learn from Hollywood Screenwriters, bestselling author Karl Iglesias will guide students to identify and develop the key screenwriting habits of A-list screenwriters, like Ron Bass, Akiva Goldsman, Gerald DiPego, Eric Roth, Nicholas Kazan, Ed Solomon, Scott Rosenberg, and more. He'll offer an insider's view at how these pros discipline themselves, create original material, conquer the blank page, eliminate writer's block, network, pitch, and persevere in Hollywood.

Modeling what works is the philosophy at the heart of this course. The secret to success in any field is to find what successful people do and think about and do the same. The difference between successful screenwriters and amateurs is that successful screenwriters do all the things that amateurs want to do but can't do, or don't know how to do.

If you want to elevate your scripts and stories – AND your screenwriting or filmmaking career -- to the highest possible level, this class is a must.
