Everyone has an idea for a movie. But most don't realize how much rides on a good screenplay. Your average Hollywood film costs at least fifty million dollars to produce and market. Therefore, if you REALLY have an idea for a movie, it better be good. So what separates the 99 mundane ideas from the ones that win Oscar gold? 
Join us for this fast-paced, all-day workshop to find out. Hollywood Story Analyst Mike Stern will reveal what elements your stories need to make it onto the silver screen.
 
In this enlightening and energizing workshop, he will clearly lay out how the Secret of the Three C's -- concept, character and construction can help you find the commercial and screen-worthy elements from your lives, dreams, short stories and novels. He will then demonstrate how to develop these ideas from concept to full-blown story providing dozens of new techniques to turbo-charge your creativity and help you craft intriguing narratives for the screen.
