Story and Plot Screenwriting Workshop
September 22, 10am-330pm
http://storyandplot.com/classes/structure.html

Taught by a 20-year Hollywood veteran, the 1-Day Story Structure Workshop focuses on building a structure from the ground up by making several key decisions early on that eases the burden on the author and puts it where it belongs: the story. This process focuses more on scenes and sequences rather than plot points in order to maximize the dramatic impact as well as commercial viability of the project. The blank page will be less intimidating than ever…

The knowledge presented is instrumental for anyone interested in developing projects in the film industry whether they intend to develop a concept to first draft, or a first draft to production script. It is a giant step forward for both beginning and experienced screenwriters.

The discount code “SPRING” will give Spring Film Group members the early bird discount until the day of the workshop.

ABOUT TOM VAUGHAN

Tom Vaughan studied at the University of Houston with Broadway legend Jose Quintero and three-time Pulitzer Prize winner Edward Albee. It was his work as a writer and director in Houston theatre that got him recognized by Hollywood.

He was soon writing screenplays for, among others, Phoenix Pictures, Spelling Films, Rysher Entertainment, TNT, MTV Films, Castle Rock Entertainment, Sony Pictures, ABC, NBC, Warner Brothers and Disney/Touchstone. He has developed screenplays for Matthew McConaughey, Nicolas Cage, Barry Sonnenfeld, Chow-Yun Fat, Simon West, and many others.

WI******ER, the film he co-wrote starring Helen Mirren and Jason Clarke, about the infamous Wi******er Mystery House, opened nationwide February 2nd, 2018 and launched on home video April 17th. Tom just finished work on the untitled horror film about one of the most haunted places in the world, the HMS Queen Mary in Long Beach. Production starts in the fall.

Tom's feature film debut was the action film UNSTOPPABLE, starring Wesley Snipes. In 2011, he completed his directorial debut, PLAYING HOUSE, based on a script written with Kristy Dobkin. His past productions include BLACKOUT with Jane Seymour for CBS, and CRITICAL ASSEMBLY with Katherine Heigl for NBC. He served as writer as well as Co-Producer on ATOMIC TWISTER with Sharon Lawrence and DEAD IN A HEARTBEAT with Penelope Anne Miller and Judge Reinhold, both for TBS.

He has been teaching and mentoring screenwriters for over 15 years and finds it as gratifying as actually practicing it.

STORY AND PLOT is a Los Angeles based series of screenwriting classes and workshops taught by a professional screenwriter with a passion for teaching that matches his passion for writing. The next Los Angeles class begins Tuesday, May 2nd in Hollywood.
