All writers need to break a story into scenes that maintain plot and suspense. In Hollywood, this is called “Story-Breaking”. Mastering story-breaking is a cornerstone of success in all forms of fiction writing including novels, screenplays, tv episodes, stage plays, and YouTube videos.

I have discovered secrets of story-breaking over many years of hard work. They enabled me to create the hit CBS TV series EARLY EDITION. While they took years to discover, I can teach them to you in a matter of hours.

Examples are very important. This course is packed with many examples from perfectly structured films.
