Get The Edge with Scott Myers: How To Write YOUR Screenplay So That Industry Players WANT IT

What makes industry gatekeepers stop skimming and start reading? Find out. Let's be honest – the industry isn't short on talented writers. What it lacks are marketable, produceable and sizzling reads that check all the right boxes, while still feeling fresh and authentically YOUR voice. For this one-day workshop, we are flying in Scott Myers from America. He's going to cut through the noise to share what he's learned from writing thirty-plus projects across major studios and networks. He'll break down exactly what makes certain scripts gain traction while others collect dust. Let's get into it… You'll start by tackling the concept stage – learning to spot ideas worth pursuing and strengthening those with potential, answering 'what transforms a great idea into a sellable project?' Scott will show you how to test your premise against market realities without sacrificing the creative spark that made you want to write them in the first place. From there, you'll dive into character work, exploring six practical exercises Scott uses to create protagonists that jump off the page. These aren't abstract character questionnaires – they're proven techniques for developing people complex enough to carry a film and compelling enough to attract talent. Finally, you'll work on finding and amplifying your unique voice, that distinctive quality in your writing that makes readers remember your name. Scott will share straightforward methods for infusing your dialogue and description with personality while still hitting the professional marks readers expect. Your ideas, your characters, your voice, and Scott's tools, all make for a creative collaboration that will get results. By day's end, you'll walk away with practical tools you can apply immediately to your current projects. No theoretical fluff – just actionable insights from someone who's been in the trenches and knows what works.
