Phase 1: Finding the Idea & Laying the Foundation

Before you write your opening scene, you need to know exactly what your story is about.

• How to Come Up with a Movie Idea: Everything starts with a spark. Learn techniques to extract ideas from personal experiences and choose a concept strong enough to carry an entire movie.

Phase 2: Building Characters & Creating Conflict

• How to Write a Powerful Character: Great characters aren’t perfect—they are vulnerable, flawed, and capable of change.

• The Story Conflict: Without conflict, there is no drama. Conflict is the engine of your plot.

• Find Your Inner Voice: Creative writing exercises designed to make your script uniquely yours.
