The Create Awesome Screenplays Course Teaches Young Writers How To Get Their AMAZING Stories Out Their Heads And On To The Page!
You have a great screenplay idea. But you don't know how to organize it into a meaningful story that has a cohesive plot with fully developed characters. You've read a few great screenwriting books, watched a number of really good YouTube videos but still feel stuck and frustrated.
Well fret no longer...
Create Awesome Screenplays course offers kids ages 12 to 17 personalized coaching to START and FINISH a meaningful, well-structured screenplay for a SHORT FILM! Writing a screenplay can be a daunting task. One of the fastest ways to learn is by starting off with a SIMPLE short film with a POWERFUL message. With this technique, students are able to focus on mastering theme, characterization, symbolism and other important screenwriting elements on a smaller scale before moving on to a full-feature 110 page screenplay.
It's frustrating having a great story idea and not understanding how to structure it into a compelling screenplay.
There's so much involved in writing a great script that it can be intimidating, leaving you feeling stuck--not knowing where to begin or end.
Or what if perfectionism is getting in the way? Blocking your creativity.
Maybe you're afraid to begin your story because you don't think it will be good enough. So your project never gets started.
And then there are those who don't have a story idea but really want to write a screenplay.
Where do you start? How do you come up with great story ideas that will translate into a great screenplay?
Our writers learn how to break through resistance, find their voice, and write their story. Regardless of roadblocks they have faced in the past.
Our students learn how to write from the inside out, in order to truly connect with their audience. Resonance is key when it comes to crafting a great story.
Our personalized approach helps students discover the true heart of their stories.
Inexperienced writers learn how to take clear, actionable steps to write a solid story that connects with an audience intellectually and emotionally.
Writers know, we don't just tell stories to tell them. We tell stories to impact others.
So it's important to understand how to write these stories in compelling ways that can be dramatized for films in any genre.

Founder's personal note
Thanks for stopping by to learn more about Screenwriting Kids! For over a decade, I have had the honor of teaching young writers how to find their voices and use them to tell meaningful and impactful narratives that deeply resonate with their audiences.
I believe in empowering young writers to tell their stories with depth and integrity. Writers, we hold a great responsibility to tell the truth and to tell it well.
There's so much going on in the world, and it's often the writer's job to help others make sense of it all. When we create characters who share our wounds and our triumphs, it's our way of offering a reassuring hand that you do not stand alone--we are all in this together.
Happy Writing Always!
