Fade In: From concept to first draft in 60 Days

Write Your Screenplay in 60 Days

Everyone has a movie idea. Very few people ever finish writing one.

"Fade In" is an 8-week screenwriting workshop designed to help aspiring writers finally stop talking about their screenplay and start writing it.

Whether you’ve had an idea bouncing around your head for years or just discovered a story you’re excited to tell, this course will guide you through every stage of the screenwriting process—from concept to completed first draft of a feature length proejct.

Over eight weeks, you’ll learn how to:
• Develop a compelling story concept
• Build memorable characters
• Create conflict and dramatic tension
• Structure your screenplay using proven storytelling principles
• Write dialogue that sounds natural and engaging
• Stay accountable and maintain momentum
• Complete your first draft

By the end of the course, you’ll leave with:
✓ A completed first draft of your screenplay
✓ A professional screenplay format
✓ Story development tools and templates
✓ Personalized feedback throughout the process
✓ A supportive community of fellow writers

This is not a lecture series. This is a workshop.

You’ll be writing every week, receiving feedback, and making measurable progress toward a finished screenplay.

If you’ve always wanted to write a movie, this is your chance.
Stop waiting.

Your story starts here.
