TRUBY TO HOLD WORKSHOP IN LONDON

JOHN Truby, one of America’s leading experts in screenwriting and story craft, is to hold a two-day workshop on Advanced Story Structure in London on March 10 to 11.
The script school offers a refresher course for industry personnel and aims to demystify Hollywood while teaching film writing and the script business.
Writers, directors and producers of films such as ‘Outbreak’, ‘Sleepless in Seattle’, ‘The Addams Family’. ‘Beetle Juice’, ‘Kiss of the Spiderwoman’, ‘The Opposite Sex’, ‘There’s Something About Mary’, and ‘Star Wars’ have all attended this seminar, basing their first successes on the advanced and ground-breaking techniques Truby teaches at the Truby Writers Studio in LA.
Day one will deal with ‘Finding the Perfect Structure’. Discover the actual step-by-step process to create a dynamic structure for stories and learn how to translate it to the screen by discarding the three act story structure used by writers and develop a story structure suited for the movie environment of the late 1990’s.
Day two will deal with the 22 building blocks, subplot and dialogue. Learn the real method and techniques used by top professionals to layer plot, dialogue, subplot and setting to create a dynamic and satisfying story.
The course is also part of the Diploma courses series for writers and filmmakers.
