Eva Reale
In her video lecture series on Mastering Story Momentum, Max Adams lays down the structural musts for launching and building a screenplay to its climax. If you’re a beginner, you will benefit greatly from these lectures. If you’re more advanced, Max re-inspires by challenging the traditional 3-act (30-60-30 page) structure, illuminating with fun, matter-of-fact tips and details.

About Max Adams
MAX ADAMS is an author and award winning screenwriter. She has written for Columbia Pictures, Sony Pictures, Tri-Star Pictures, Hollywood Pictures, Touchstone Pictures, Walt Disney Studios, Universal Pictures — and a couple others to remain unnamed because no one around here wants to get black listed.
Max is a former volunteer AFI Alumni reader and WGAw online mentor, former Nicholl reader and judge, has appeared as a speaker at, among other places, AMPAS, USC, and Film Arts Foundation, is an Adjunct Assistant Professor at University of Utah and a former lecturer & instructor at New York Film Academy, is the author of The Screenwriter’s Survival Guide AND The New Screenwriter’s Survival Guide, is the founder of two international online screenwriting workshops — and TheAFW — and has the dubious distinction of having been dubbed “Red Hot Adams” by Daily Variety for selling three pitches over a holiday weekend — which made her agents cry.
[In a good way.]
She answers now to both “Max” and “Red Hot” in crowds and dog parks.
Max has been writing, selling, mentoring, and teaching for two decades. Four or her workshoppers have won Nicholl Fellowships from the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences. Many of her students and workshoppers have gone on to option, sell, publish, and produce work.
For the beginner, this class and how to break down to build script momentum would be inspiring. For the more advanced it verifies and specifies lessons and tools. I read Paul Gulino's Sequence Approach maybe 15 years ago and have used it since. Max's belief in that system, acts of 15 minutes, quantifies and solidifies that structure with strong examples. Another laurel and hardy handshake.
