DESCRIPTION:Holiday All Day Seminar!  \nStart the holiday season off in true Hallmark fashion: halfway through October! Hallmark writers Zac Hug and Erin Rodman have joined forces to cover six-hours of the basics you’ll need to write a compelling and charming Christmas romcom.  \nTaught entirely on Zoom\, we’ll start the day with a discussion of how to develop a concept into a pitch for not just Hallmark\, but multiple outlets. We’ll talk about who’s buying Christmas movies and the best thing you can do to work your way toward writing one. From there\, we’ll take a strong look at how to craft a lead character that the audience will root for\, and who to put in their way: the romantic lead.  \nAfter a quick break where we suggest you grab a hot cocoa and listen to your favorite Christmas carols (yes\, really!)\, we’ll come back and talk about the nuts and bolts of the structure of a romcom\, whether it’s three acts or nine-acts. (If that’s confusing\, don’t worry\, we’ll explain!) Together\, we’ll take a first crack at building your story and work our way into our favorite part: the side-characters.  \nThe town busybody\, the owner of the Christmas tree lot\, they’re all here. In conversation and through various exercises\, we’ll talk you through how to find a new spin on these classic characters\, making them not just background characters but a living breathing world that your story can exist in.  \nFinally\, we’ll talk through how to write a compelling scene complete with sparkling dialogue and striking visuals. We’ll send you off with new ideas and a solid understanding of the script you want to write (or rewrite).   \nWhether you’re just starting to crack into your outline or not sure how to fix the first draft of your Christmas movie\, we’ve got you covered with not just the basics of a solid Christmas romcom but of writing a good movie\, full of characters an audience will love.

Tim and Linda will take you through the key elements of transformational arcs and will answer any and all questions you may have on the topic. \nIn this 90 minute free webinar\, Linda and Tim will show you how to enhance the emotional journey of your protagonist via the following concepts: \n\nEstablish the Ordinary World to give an anchor to the arc.\nIntroduce the Catalyst in conflict. Establish the vulnerabilities of the Hero and build a fear that serves both character and story.\nCreate Rising Conflict: The rising conflict builds tension and serves as a catalyst for change.\nExternalize the Internal Conflict: Actions speak louder than words\, so use the characters’ decisions\, behaviors\, and reactions to showcase their evolution. Show how their choices reflect their changing beliefs\, motivations\, and goals.\nEmploy Turning Points: Utilize major turning points in the story to mark significant shifts in the character’s journey. Each turning point should push the protagonist closer to their ultimate transformation.\nEmphasize the Midpoint: The midpoint of the story often serves as a crucial moment for the protagonist’s transformational arc. It should be active and dynamic.  \nShow Internal Reflection: Alongside external action and conflict\, allocate moments for your character to reflect on their journey internally. Use these moments to reveal the character’s changing beliefs\, doubts\, and motivations\, reinforcing their transformation.\nClimactic Conflict: Build towards a climactic conflict where the protagonist confronts the main obstacle or antagonist. This confrontation should test the character’s growth\, forcing them to apply the lessons they’ve learned throughout the story. \nResolve and New Equilibrium: After the climactic conflict\, provide a resolution that reflects the character’s transformation. It’s the final minutes of the movie and the message your audience will embrace as the credits roll.\n\n  \nBy utilizing action\, conflict\, and structure effectively\, you can guide your protagonist through a transformative arc that engages and captivates your audience.  \nFor this free webinar as well as a few upcoming ones\, we’ll focus on using examples from the following films/tv shows: \n\nSpider-Man: Across the Spider-verse (currently in theaters\, coming to streaming soon)\nThe Lost City (Sandra Bullock): Currently streaming on various platforms\nSuccession: Streaming on Max\n\n  \nJoin us Saturday\, August 26 at 10-11:30 am PST for a fun\, in-depth\, and FREE chat with Tim and Linda.

Now what? To be successful\, you have to be adept at much more than simply writing. We all want to see our stories move from page to screen\, but an effective pitch is often a necessary precursor. Screenwriting is a business; successful writers need the skills to present themselves\, their ideas\, and their stories. Unfortunately\, we’re often given vague guidelines and generalized advice on “how to pitch”\, rather than concrete coaching as we hone and perfect one specific pitch. \nIn this intimate\, five-session intensive\, students will improve their pitching skills and deepen their understanding of the pitch process\, how pitches are set up\, meeting etiquette\, etc. But\, more importantly\, each student will “Pitch it up a Notch!”® by selecting a specific project (either a completed pilot or feature)\, for which they will craft and perform a compelling pitch. Via in-class feedback\, writers will experience “mock pitches”\, pitching their own project and also serving as “producer” during their classmates’ pitches. \nLearn more at the link below!
