How to Bring Authenticity and a Unique Voice to Your Screenwriting - With 12 Script Downloads
Learn how to make your unique voice shine in your writing from a Creative and Production Executive at a top production company! We have found ourselves in an age of content overload. As audiences, everywhere we turn we are inundated with stories online, on screen, in podcasts and on the radio. And these are just the stories that make it to these platforms. Script readers and producers are going through much, much more, often reading hundreds of screenplays a month. And yet, with so much content out there, scripts still rise to the top. It’s not theme or content matter that achieves this; it’s authenticity. The industry is changing, but this simple truth never does. Executives, producers, studios, and audiences will always seek out authentic voices. The question, then, is what exactly is authenticity and how does it read on a page? Adding authenticity to your work is a lot harder than adding, say, character headings. It’s not a switch to turn on and it’s not something that can be easily engineered. Cultivating an authentic voice is a challenge every writer faces and takes years of honing your craft. However, there are things you can do right now to better zero in on your own voice and show it off to executives and other gatekeepers. Better understanding what authenticity looks like on a page, how executives identify it, and the steps writers with strong authentic voices take before approaching a script will give you the best possible chance of your project standing out, continuing into production and ultimately premiering to the masses. Sarah Cornelius serves as Creative and Production Executive at award-winning Whitewater Films, helmed by director-producer Rick Rosenthal (HALLOWEEN II, BAD BOYS, TRANSPARENT). This approach has resulted in Whitewater producing numerous notable films which have won Independent Spirit Awards, the Sundance Directing Award, a Primetime Emmy, as well as collecting nominations for an Oscar and the Sundance Grand Jury Prize. Whitewater has produced projects for Paramount Classics, Netflix, Showtime, IFC, Samual Goodwyn Films, The Orchard, CNN Films and more. Whitewater Films recently completed their feature STANDING UP, FALLING DOWN starring Billy Crystal & Ben Schwartz with first-time director Matt Ratner. Their film, THE LAST SHIFT premiered at Sundance 2020 with two time Oscar-nominee Richard Jenkins. In addition they produced FIRST GIRL I LOVED (Sundance winner), HALFWAY THERE (Sundance Episodic Showcase winner) and SMALL ENGINE REPAIR (SXSW premiere). Sarah has been involved with development on each of Whitewater's projects and has the ability to communicate conceptual notes in a direct and effective manner. Sarah will use her extensive experience evaluating scripts and discovering talent to delve into what goes into finding your authentic voice and how to bring it into your script. She’ll begin by discussing the main questions you should ask yourself before writing a script, including how to prevent writer’s block, how to anchor your concept, and the three ‘whys’ you must address before getting started. Sarah will then approach the concept of authenticity from the point of view of an executive, and what specific things they look at to identify a writer’s voice. She’ll speak to format and clarity, imagery and action, dialogue, point of view, and creativity and risk-taking. Sarah will even teach you how to retain your authenticity past the writing phase. She’ll discuss how to ask for and incorporate feedback while still holding on to your voice and how to pitch what you wrote with authentic confidence. Finding your own authentic voice is never easy, but Sarah will give you the tools you need to better understand how to bring your voice forward and hone in on it with more confidence. Plus, you will receive 10 downloads of notable screenplays that exhibit an authentic voice (and 2 downloads of scripts without an authentic voice) that Sarah will use to demonstrate how authenticity reads on the page: Jordan Peele's US CAPTAIN FANTASTIC THE SHAPE OF WATER PARASITE AMERICAN BEAUTY RESERVOIR DOGS WHIPLASH HARRIET TRAINSPOTTING APOCALYPSE NOW SHOWGIRLS CATWOMAN Praise for Sarah's Stage 32 Webinar: "Sarah was incredible!

In the span of just 40-60 pages, you have to introduce your world, your characters, your central plot and conflict, and your inciting incident, all while keeping your pacing consistent, finding some resolution for that episode, and allowing your audience to want to watch more.

No matter what genre you’re writing in, understanding how to structure your pilot is vital. Gaining a clear grasp on how successful drama pilots are arranged and the rules they all follow is a necessary step if you want to have a show that will get picked up and ultimately connect with an audience.

How To Produce An Award-Winning Film For Under $500k
Learn How To Make An Award-Winning Feature Film For Under $500K From The Filmmakers Behind The 2020 Award-Winning Independent Feature Film TULSA And The 2019 Award Winning Independent Feature Film BLACKBEAR PLUS! Scott and Laura will provide you with the script for their award-winning film TULSA! Are you ready to make your award-winning independent feature film for under $500K? Making your independent feature film is one of the greatest and most fulfilling creative challenges in the world. While the finished product may come across like an effortless, moving piece of art, the truth is countless elements of the filmmaking process need to go right in order for a film to be a success. You may have a great director, great actors, and a great script, but the bottom line is that you need all the pieces of this puzzle (and more) to fit together to make it to the finish line and give your film a chance to win some awards that can propel your career forward. There are so many important questions that you need to answer. What are the key elements to making an award-winning film? How do you go about assembling the right team? How do you raise money for an independent film? How can you cast the best actors in each role? And something most novice filmmakers overlook - how do you secure distribution before you start filming? In this exclusive Stage 32 webinar you'll learn from award winning filmmakers Scott and Laura Pryor who will share their journey and lessons learned with you to help you make your award winning independent feature film. Scott and Laura have made multiple award-winning films for $500k or less, including "The List” (2015), “Blackbear” (2019), and “Tulsa” (2020). Scott and Laura will teach you everything you need to know to best approach your filmmaking process to create a great low budget feature film that can resonate with audiences and voters at festivals and markets. One key element that separates an award-winning film from the rest is the ability to create massive synergy in executing the right vision with the right t in place. Proper execution requires building the right team in the right positions, having a strong pre-production, and knowing your outcomes before your very first shoot day. Many filmmakers fall into the trap of thinking that because they have a couple of the key factors in place such as financing or a great script, they will be successful. This is simply not the case. It takes the entire team and machine to be in sync and that starts with leadership from the top. If you're ready to make your award-winning feature film for under $500K, this webinar is a must. PLUS! Scott and Laura will provide you with an exclusive copy of the script for their award-winning film TULSA! Praise For Scott & Laura Pryor “Not only has Pryor Entertainment created multiple award-winning films, but films that sell, more than titles with 10 times the budget.” - John K. “It has been so fulfilling creatively working with Scott & Laura Pryor during the past 6 months. Not only are they innovative in the execution of their film projects but they come to the table with so many original ideas. They have the ability to grasp the intellectual sides of talent and character development in tandem with bright and astute teams to execute the work. They are a powerhouse duo who work wonderfully together.” - Shave S. “Scott Pryor is one of the most intense creatives I’ve had the pleasure of working with. The fact that he’s a Marine only speaks to his detail orientation and commitment to excellence. His visual skillset helps him to be a better storyteller, and his accomplished athleticism only compliments his already ridiculous work ethic.” - Mama Jan Smith, Music Producer, Owner, Jan Smith Studios
