Maybe you have the rights to a book, an article, or someone’s life story that you want to turn into a screenplay. Or maybe you just have an idea that you think would make a great movie. Whatever your starting place, the key to ending up with a great script is planning.

 

As a professional screenwriter, my method starts with drilling down into a concept to discover the most important thing of all...

 

What is the beating heart of the story?

 

In other words, what will make an audience care about the characters and their journey?

 

Once I know that, I can accurately pre-plan by writing an overall Outline and then a scene-by-scene Treatment.

 

My ultimate goal is to have a well-thought-out first draft so that the project doesn’t get bogged down.

 

My careful planning also ensures that the first draft reads like a third or fourth draft.
