The Ten Screenwriting Commandments Of Aaron Sorkin
How does he do it? Damn it! An online Masterclass with Bob Schultz
While no-one can write just like Aaron Sorkin, except Aaron Sorkin, we can all learn from his writing. His story structure deftness. His ability to write compelling characters. And then there’s the astonishing dialogue that makes talking movies feel more like verbal action movies.
Deep dive into the DNA of what makes Aaron Sorkin the most envied screenwriter on planet earth. We suspect even Aaron Sorkin himself envies his own legendary stature.
‘Good writers borrow from other writers. Great writers steal from them outright.’

‘Any time you get two people in a room who disagree about anything, the time of day, there is a scene to be written. That’s what I look for.’

‘It is tremendously insightful and I actually watched Sorkin’s own ‘MasterClass’ series straight afterwards (which Bob’s webinar references occasionally), but on the whole I found Bob’s session much more practical, and actually more astute in drawing out WHAT Sorkin does and HOW he does it. At a fraction of the price, too. Great work Bob. Recommended’
