What You Will Learn?

  • Writing a Screenplay is hard - A great way to start is learning to craft One Scene in a Screenplay Format. My name is Olaf. I am a do-it-yourself filmmaker with a two-decade experience. In this class, I'll share all the tools that I've learned by completing over thirty full-length screenplays..
  • > Note: IF YOU FINISH this class, you're eligible for my free Film Seminar via Zoom every Saturday, visit my website in my profile for more information..
  • This class is for anyone who has written a story and wants to write for Film & TV. Regardless if you’re a beginner, or have just started screenwriting, this class will deepen your understanding and help you develop as an author..
  • Your class project is to complete ONE SCENE in a screenplay format. .
  • If you can master writing ONE SCENE, (I did the math) you can write MANY SCENES and complete a screenplay for Film or TV..
  • METHOD I’ve spent years developing and testing the METHOD for this class and I can’t wait to share it with you. The method is a gradual process of (almost) annoyingly slow and simple process, presented through a series of contained lessons..
  • This course will not only demystify the screenwriting process but also liberate your creative strengths and help you manifest your ideas. .
  • We will be chopping down blueprints, demystifying the process, tickling elephants, and talking about structure, rhythm, the importance of blank space, transitions, the limits, and the powers of writing in a screenplay format..
  • I'VE BEEN TEACHING writing for years and learned that it’s one thing to teach writing - but quite another of getting it across. Teaching writing is not about what I teach, but how I can invite you to teach yourself..
