You may have a full treatment or merely an idea scratched out on the back of an envelope. John helps you develop that idea through Character cultivation, theme, plot, and story structure to give you a firm platform upon which to build your movie script.
A series of one-hour phone sessions with I will guide you from the beginning to the end of a specific project. You can begin with a story idea, a character, a treatment, or an outline. (If you have a completed draft, I request that you get an In-Depth Analysis first.) I will help you to craft a strong story structure with three-dimensional characters, plot, subjective story line, and other elements that make a good screenplay from Fade In to Fade Out. At the end of each session, you will get a suggested guidance for the next step.
​
Development sessions are ideal for part-time writers who need a structured step-by step approach, or who are new to writing screenplays. They are also great if you are a seasoned writer and feel as if you’ve gotten stuck in a rut, need fresh insight and a different perspective into your craft. It lends a sense of structure to your process that perhaps has dissipated. You may arrange the frequency of sessions to fit your schedule and writing process.
