ISP is designed to offer maximum exposure for your screenplay. It’s not writer’s block, but second act issues that effect your ability to finish your screenplay!

The instructor will provide proven strategies for second act success. There are several things that can be picked up on early in the writing process that will spell disaster as you try to punch through the second act and still maintain narrative trajectory.

This is an 8-week program from start to finish and includes script evaluation (second act emphasis), rewriting, live instruction and training, and online readings. You will receive analysis, phone/chat (your choice) conference with instructor, and then have 4-6 weeks to perform rewrites all the while remaining in constant communication with instructor as you work on your script.
