Description

This course covers the basics in screenwriting format with two 'hands-on' instructional videos which teach you everything you need to know in how to format and develop an industry standard screenplay. There are many courses that offer the same thing but not from produced screenwriters. I don't teach theory here, I teach practicality. After this short course you will be able to create a screenplay. If you ever plan to write a screenplay but don't know where to start, you are in the right place. This crash course will teach you, in just a matter of hours, the proper way to format and create your first screenplay. If your screenplay isn't in the right format, it will not be read by industry professionals. You can have a great story but they won't read it. People have tried to send me screenplays that were not even close to correct format and they said "I'd get the idea." Well, if they don't take the time to learn how to write a screenplay why should anyone take the time to read it? I hope you enjoy this course. Please take the time to rate it when you are done. Thank you for your support.
