ABOUT THE WEBINAR

Imagine sitting in a theatre after seeing a terrible film. As the end credits roll, the director and writer rush on stage to defend their work over the crowd's booing--"But we read all the books, taken all the seminars... We followed all the rules and principles of the hero's journey... We structured it well, had all the plot points at the right timing... We even had the hero save a cat, for crying out loud! What's wrong with you?!" Silly, right?

But this is the mentality of most aspiring writers who ignore the one unshakable truth of storytelling: "It's not about what happens to people on a page; it's about what happens to a reader in his heart and mind." In other words, it's all about engaging the reader emotionally. That's what craft is all about.

A story is a dance of reader emotions. The more felt, the more satisfying the story. And it's your job as a writer to know not only what these emotions are but how to create them on the page on a consistent basis. Otherwise, the reader is bored and frustrated instead of entertained, and that's it. Game over.

Join award-winning UCLA instructor Karl Iglesias as he explores the psychology of the reader, and demystifies once and for all what it means to tell a story well. Going beyond the basics, he'll show you how to seduce your readers, force them to turn the pages to see what happens next, interest them so intensely that they are "taken out of themselves" into the world you've created. The ideal is to make them forget they're actually reading words on a page. You'll be challenged to view your script not as a 110-page blueprint for a film or TV show, but as the promise of an intense and satisfying emotional experience.

After all, "screen" writing is easy: You just write 110 pages in proper script format with slug lines, description, and dialogue. But writing to keep readers interested and moving them emotionally is another challenge. It's not about plot points; it's not about character; it's about EMOTION!

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

  • How story emotions are universal, not genre-specific
  • How to avoid being boring on the page
  • How to get attention on the page and keep the reader's eyes glued to the page
  • How to build an emotion-based outline
  • The five needs of the reader that must be satisfied in a story
  • The three types of reader emotions
  • The crucial difference between character emotions and reader emotions
  • Why stories are emotion machines

  • Writers, directors and producers who want to understand how to engage an audience
  • Writers who struggle with script rejections
  • Writers who want to entertain the reader
  • Writers who seek new techniques to take your writing to the professional level
  • Writers who want to get more knowledge about the craft

Children's outerwear, a must have .. excellent quality, fit & price!
Size: X-Small, Color: White
One of the very best pull over sweatshirts I've come across. Quality fabric with an amazing cut & fit that rises above the standard, more boxy cut of children's sweatshirts I've purchased in the past. With an 8 year old granddaughter that's constantly on the go & is never cold lol, I needed a piece of outerwear that wasn't too thick, bulky or restrictive that she'd forget she was wearing. A piece of clothing that would keep her warm yet comfortable, thru out her day & boy did I hit the jackpot. All of the above plus an overall amazing fit & stylish look I wasn't expecting but could tell she absolutely loved. An added bonus, after at least 15 or more washes to-date, it still looks & fits as good as it did the very first time she wore it. I've since purchased other similar items but none compare. An excellent buy !!!!

Great fit and comfortable for gym class
Size: X-Large, Color: Bright Pink
My daughter wore this for her gym class and it fit her really well. She didn’t complain about it being tight or uncomfortable, and she loved the color. The material feels soft and lightweight, and it held up well after washing. I’d buy it again in another color.

A very adorable, exceptional quality sweatshirt for a inexpensive price, bought two
Size: Small, Color: Light Mauve
I bought two of these for my granddaughters as well as iron on stickers from Amazon to put their initials on the front of the shirt. The sweatshirts were some of the best quality I’ve ever seen from the stitching, to the thickness, softness. And not to mention the price.

Great hoodie
Size: Large, Color: Navy
Got this hoodie for my son and he’s been living in it ever since. It’s thick, warm, and fits really well. The color looks even better in person, and it’s held up after a few washes with no fading or shrinking. You can tell it’s good quality by the stitching and feel. Definitely worth it if you want something that’s both cozy and stylish.
