ABOUT THE WEBINAR

If you're 'plotting' your story, just stop! This webinar will show you how professionals stop plotting and start creating feelings and emotions that come from your 'craziest' notions--the ideas you get in the shower that never seem to translate properly into your script. Now they can. And if they can, your plot will happen automatically. Why? Today's film and TV is different--the wilder the story the better. Extreme characters in extreme situations--that's what producers want. Twisting your story and characters for today's marketplace means call for your deepest and most imaginative 'insane' ideas--but how to do that? This webinar gives you the tools to FEEL your way through your story instead of just saying' now this happens and then this happens.'

Story today isn't simple! It zigs and zags. You need to tap into your deepest imagination in order to appeal to today's incredibly sophisticated audience. So how do you take your story into the new stratosphere? By creating deep and original action and characters who feel fully human and alive - and you do that by giving them the deep eccentricities that all real people possess--dark secrets, hidden wishes, embarrassing desire and pains. Where do those come from? You'll find out in this webinar.

ROBOT - Emmy for Best New Drama 2015), and Hal Ozsan (SONS OF ANARCHY). This information-rich, fast moving webinar will inspire you with Peter's signature visual style, while giving you the tools that let you use your own 'wild' imagination and innermost pains and pleasures to create a story that no one will see coming, and characters that have the surprise and originality that today's audiences demand.
