Creating and Completing a Feature Screenplay
Over the course of 10 weeks, via one-hour, 2x a week sessions, Tom will personally take you from idea to a polished first draft (by phone or Zoom).
Week 1-3:
This is the "ideation" phase. We agree on the concept, "comps" we can compare the project to successfully, the lead character, the story, her supporting characters - - assets and adversaries, a beat-sheet and ultimately, a finely honed outline
"The Writing Intensive Tutorial": Between the "ideation" phase and the actual writing of the screenplay, Tom provides a two hour tutorial where he carefully brings to life the tools that will elevate your writing to "A-level" expertise
Week 4-8/9:
This is the "execution" phase where Tom gives you notes on your pages (usually 8-10 per session that you turn in); you then revise the pages based on Tom's notes and the process continues with the next set of pages until the screenplay's complete
Week 9-10:
Having finished your screenplay, fully revised over the course of the sessions working with Tom, you now have a polished script for Tom to review and on which to provide notes. Depending on your turn-around, Tom may provide a second set of notes on the draft, based solely on whether you can get a second draft submitted before the end of the 10 week schedule
