Spend the day with Bob and master new actionable strategies for creating complex, relatable characters, like those in “Good Will Hunting,” “Moonlight,” “Breaking Bad,” “Game of Thrones,” “The Sopranos,” “Mad Men,” and “The Crown”. Unpack EXACTLY how you can then use this insight to build a compelling plot that will keep your audience engaged. Or more likely, redraft your existing work, making it tighter, deliver more punch, and connect more profoundly with the reader.
You’ll also discover practical techniques for writing punchy, unforgettable dialogue, such as “I am the one who knocks,” or “I’m not a hero. I’m a drifter with nothing to lose,” and stylistic flourishes like “My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.”
Together we will be inspired to dig deep into the emotions of your characters to find the universalities that appeal to readers, and we will equip you to confront your greatest writing challenges head-on. By the end of the course, you’ll have the knowledge and confidence to write a drama screenplay that will leave your audience feeling deeply moved.
This masterclass will give you:
- Actionable strategies for creating complex, relatable characters who will capture your audience’s hearts and minds, and the reader too.
- Practical techniques you can employ RIGHT NOW, for writing effective dialogue that will make your audience feel a wide range of emotions.
- The inner confidence to pitch your ideas to industry professionals to better navigate the business of screenwriting.
- A deep understanding of the fundamental principles of drama writing, including character development, plot structure, and dialogue. Your writing will feel immediate, jump off the pages, and effortless.
By the end of the course, you’ll be able to write a screenplay that will leave your audience feeling whatever you want them to feel. And with an industry facing twist that will make it attractive to producers and executives.
Join us and take your NEXT step towards screenwriting mastery and a successful career in the emotionally charged world of drama entertainment.

‘It was clearly structured, with brilliant advice and watching the clips was very helpful. It’s one of the best courses I’ve been on. The workshop part helped me look at my script in a new light – looking at those intense, emotion-laden, visually memorable moments which sum up relationship or theme. Brilliant!’
