MASTERING STORY MOMENTUM || MARCH 10

Of all the screenwriting classes I’ve taken, online and in person, including institutions and schools that are considered elite, Max’s classes are by far the most informative, useful, and inspiring. You leave the class with an actual set of tools you can use on all of your scripts. I wish I would have found her classes MUCH sooner. Thank you Max!!!

ME: Well, no, not really. THE UNIVERSE: Passive answer. Try again. ME: Okay... NO. Full stop. THE UNIVERSE: Good, dog! Yes, old dogs such as myself really can learn new tricks! This class incorporates the arts of escalation, scene sequencing and structure. Bottom line.... it made me think differently (sorry Apple) about how to approach my writing. So...just do it (sorry Nike!)

Momentum is a vital screenwriting concept, and Max Adams has a unique ability to break down and clarify key ideas. In doing the class exercises, writers receive in-depth writer-specific Max teaching moments. These points lead to epiphanies that can't be gotten in a cattle call workshop of hundreds, books, articles, or other classes. The course is highly recommended for beginners and experts alike.

I have not taken a single class by Max, where I have not learned more about the story and the power it has to create new worlds. Mastering the Story Momentum allowed me to focus on making sure my stories have flow to them instead of aimlessly wondering about. Great class with fun engaging exercises.

Fantastic class. I use the lessons from Mastering Story Momentum with every script I write. The class taught me to differentiate the story from the plot and break down scene by scene and act by act to ensure the script grabs and holds the reader’s interest throughout. Highly recommend.

We've all felt this, watching a film that starts strong, then drags into intolerable boredom. Max's course helped me fix my plots' pacings, see the story's readers' interest kept until the end. She's a Nicholl winner and fellow, who knows what's needed for a film's plot to take off and soar. Let her teach you that, as she did to me.
