8 five-star reviews from writers who took this course.
“Intensely engaging and packed with useful discussion and information. Can only imagine the huge amount of energy and preparation Bob puts in to every session to pound home so much information in only one day. A recording is then sent to mull over at leisure. Huge value for money!!”
“With his encyclopaedic knowledge and love of film, Bob backs up course content with a wealth of examples, and inspires you to think more deeply about what makes a good story great. Remember that the consequences of failure must be monumental for the character – the peril must be real, regardless of genre or medium.”
“What I really loved was putting the protagonist to one side for a change – putting the Nemesis front and centre, looking at the story from their angle, and sometimes only giving the protagonist a walk-on part. It TOTALLY changed the way I saw the story, and I pushed it and took risks I hadn’t thought of before. A complete mindshift! And I loved the range of examples and the clips were great because they made me really dive into the story. The writing bursts were tricky at times but SO good for getting the brain engaged. Love Bob – he’s a great teacher :)”
“I loved the revelation of the beat at the beginning- that initially the nemesis can seem charming, playful even. It’s a beat I hadn’t even realised was missing in my stories. A fabulous course that has allowed me to add so much more depth and richness to my stories. I honestly can’t recommend it highly enough.”
Varsha ShahScreenwriter★★★★★“The ritual of the nemesis went deeper than I thought and I discovered that some of the secondary characters in my current project do in fact play a far deeper role as allies to some of the other nemesis, so now they too will become stronger after I give them an oomph!”
Tas MalleScreenwriter, Filmmaker★★★★★“I love Bob’s courses, they’re always very practical, always provide me with new writing tools. The examples used to illustrate are always well chosen, very helpful to see those as there’s always something that helps to translate to the ideas I’m working on my self”
