How to create a polished look book to get your script read

Creating a look book for your script doesn't have to be intimidating - it's fun! Max's lab breaks down the elements of a successful look book: what it needs, where to find it, and how to put it all together in a way that conveys the tone and spirit of your film and will make people want to read your script. It's also a great way to organize images and ideas to inspire you, the screenwriter.

Learned a ton about presenting story in Max's lookbook lab!

The lab was fantastic! Learned about different platforms and new sources for art and presentations. Attending the lab will certainly help my rewrite, since creating the lookbook requires you to focus on key points/major conflicts/tone and genre. Thank you Max!

A great learning pathway to a valuable tool

This lab brought me from no understanding of look books and how they are put together, to a solid foundation and skill. What should be there. Where to find it. How to get a template that works. How to assemble the look book. The final checklist. I feel confident I can put a look book together -- a very professional one.

A visual treat to Lookbook creation

I had taken a different lookbook course a few years ago, but my content wasn't standing out. I needed a new approach. Max's visual eye shows you what a great lookbook should look like. Arresting image is EVERYTHING, and it was a real delight to watch Max create one right before our eyes and walk us through the process. Thanks, Max!
