SCREENWRITING KEPT SIMPLE
Veteran film writer and certified teacher "Yanni" Skiotes (see About Us for his credentials) offers his new online correspondence screenwriting course! From Story Idea to Finished Script! Work at your own pace!
The course consists of a copy of his book - SCREENWRITING KEPT SIMPLE, lesson assignments, and a critique on each lesson. It provides a great way to rewrite your script or embark on a new one. Each lesson builds upon the previous, forming a pyramid or a general-to-specific story-to-script effect. You truly traverse from the embryonic story idea to final script completion. Designed for the serious screenwriter of all levels. Yanni promises no magical quick-fixes or "new" solutions to screenwriting. Instead, he presents an effective, no-nonsense approach you can apply script to script over your entire screenwriting career.
Most courses are overly complicated. However, Yanni gives you time proven screenwriting techniques and methods along with the all important "pre-scriptwriting" lessons most courses do not even know about - let alone teach. Aristotle set the story structure mold and Yanni's methodology reinforces it - adapted to the film medium.
