Relationship Driven Screenwriting I

About this course:

Good movies--across all genres--are really about relationships: people with problems, searching for answers, who find them through their interactions with other people.  Or aliens.  Or pets.  Even with an arch enemy.  Beneath any good script is a core relationship that makes us want to go on a journey, to see where these two characters will end up.  It’s at the heart of every story type, from buddy cops, star-crossed lovers, and mothers and daughters to the King of England and his speech therapist (The King’s Speech).  Relationship Driven Screenwriting is a fresh way of looking at movies that allows you to develop meaningful characters, build an active story, write effective dialogue, and deliver a theme, all by way of that important, central vehicle.  Through lectures and workshops, you apply this approach to your own material, crafting a full outline and thirty pages of your script, launching your story and its relationships toward something incredible.
