Your First 12 Weeks —
A WEEK BY WEEK
WALK-THROUGH

You only learn screenwriting by doing it. Here's what you'll DO in the first 3 months of this system — with up to 60 detailed daily action steps that will revolutionize the way you write.

 

First, in the Setup Phase:

You'll do simple steps that guarantee completion of your production-ready screenplay.

 

Lay a solid foundation

In the first week, you'll do what most writers never do — prepare! You'll complete simple (but vital) steps that obliterate procrastination, silence your inner critic, and establish the habits and discipline required for success. With this foundation, you'll break through the obstacles that pull most writers apart later in the process.

Discover a world of story

In the second week, you'll build on that foundation and introduce a whole new way of looking at your world. You'll learn to see story everywhere and discover infinite hidden gems most writers will never notice — and nail down exactly how to use them.
(5 detailed steps)

 

Meet the film industry

In the third week, you'll see how all this relates to the unique job of screenwriting. You'll learn exactly what producers really need — not what the books and gurus say they need. (We know because we need it!) We'll transform the way you think about this creative world, and your role in it.
(5 detailed steps)

 

Pre-align your creativity

In the fourth week, you'll tie it all together. We'll show you simple ways to determine exactly what your audience wants, so your creativity is pre-aligned with the needs of the producer. Then you can build stories you're passionate about that audiences (and producers) are eager to see.
(4 detailed steps)

 

You'll finish the Setup Phase (and every phase) with the FASTtrack step. Here, you'll lock the process into place, so that in the future, you will fly through all of these steps in one fluid motion.

Each time you move through this phase, you'll increase your speed and effectiveness — and you'll always have the ability to dig deeper into the extraordinary detail of each step if you need more work in any specific area.

 

Then in the Focus Phase:

Now that you're prepared for the job ahead and your creativity is pre-aligned with industry needs, you're ready to dig into your project with our remarkable 39-step guaranteed story building engine:

 

Capture your unique idea

In the first week, you'll learn a simple process to find ideas that are unique to you — ideas you're passionate about. You'll acquire new tools that generate unlimited story possibilities, and then pinpoint exactly which one to use (and why!).
(5 detailed steps)

 

Nail it down

In the second week, you'll expand your idea to make sure it's truly screen worthy, and discover objective ways to determine the power of what you've got and how to know you're on the right track before you pour time into your project.
(5 detailed steps)

 

Grow the organic story

In the third week, you'll move through 5 remarkable steps that turn any idea into the broad strokes of a story organically. As you master this simple process, you'll become a creativity machine, effortlessly turning any idea into a new story.
(5 detailed steps)

 

Flesh it out

In the fourth week, you'll take those broad strokes and start filling in the frame. You begin by exploring this new story world and finding its unique and powerful dynamics that will set it apart. By the end of this week, your story is taking shape.
(5 detailed steps)

 

Add the fine detail

In the fifth week, you'll dig into the detail of your story to give it texture and bring it to life. You'll mine your new story world and introduce elements that create layers — which are irresistible to the audience.
(5 detailed steps)

 

Shape their experience

In the sixth week, we get into the magic of this process — and reveal precisely how to shape your story into an unforgettable experience for your reader. From start to finish, you'll take them on a journey they'll love. You'll never consider writing a formulaic story again.
(5 detailed steps)

 

Create your map

In the seventh week, you'll tighten everything you've done and turn it into a roadmap that will guide your writing. When you use this roadmap in the Apply Phase, you'll unleash a first draft that taps the power of your creativity.
(5 detailed steps)

 

Fix any trouble spots

In the final week of this phase, you'll review everything to identify and fix any trouble spots so your story plan is solid before you put words on the page. The final steps include powerful tools that identify precisely when to move forward and what to do if you're not ready.
(4 detailed steps)

 

You'll finish the Focus Phase with the FASTtrack step. This powerful step locks the Focus Phase process into place, so you'll be able to fly through the organic story development steps on every future project.

It takes 12 weeks to learn, but as the process becomes intuitive, it becomes fast, enabling you to turn any idea into a compelling screen story within weeks, days, or even hours.

(*Please note: There are no time limits here. The recommended pace for learning the system is 5 steps per week, but you're free to pause and resume at will, to move at your own pace.)

Now, with your story roadmap, you're ready to blast out your screenplay.

 

This a complete breakthrough story development system. Even if you stop here after 3 months, you'll have an organic process you'll use forever to generate powerful screen stories. And because it's process-based, you can use any other approach to screenwriting (formulas and techniques you learn elsewhere) with this system to continually expand it.

 

The Road Ahead

If you like the process, it's easy to keep moving forward.

  • In the Apply Phase, you'll blast out a first draft using speed writing techniques that build on the skills you've developed so far. The story roadmap you created in the Focus Phase keeps you on target, and unleashes your "muse".

  • Next, you'll begin rewriting. In the epic Strengthen Phase you'll discover a breakthrough systematic approach to rewriting. Everything is interconnected in your screenplay, so you'll go from "broad to narrow" through all 6 layers to cover absolutely every detail.

  • Then you'll polish your solid draft in the Tweak Phase — making it a gripping page-turner the reader can't put down. You'll end up with a screenplay they can't resist.

  • Once you have a screenplay that reads fast, you're ready to get notes and feedback in the Alignment Phase to turn your script into exactly what the producer needs it to be.

  • Finally, you'll take your aligned, production-ready screenplay and create a one-of-a-kind marketing path directly to the sale in the aptly named Payoff Phase. Here you'll connect with the producer that's perfect for your project, and move step by step to the sale.

And of course, the FASTtrack steps at the end of each phase enable you to quickly fly through the entire process once you've learned the mechanics of each phase.
