Hi Reader,

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard this:

“I started writing a screenplay… but I never finished it.”

And I get it. I’ve been there myself. Before I knew what I was doing, I felt like I was stumbling in the dark - not really know what I was doing, where I was going, or how I was going to get there!

And my work - or lack thereof - showed it. But as I studied screenplays and got more real-world experience in the film world, things got easier. I wasn't stumbling blind anymore, but making my own way instead.

More importantly, I learned over time what had been holding me back. And it's what might be holding you back too!

The truth is, most beginners don’t finish their scripts because they run into the same three roadblocks:

1. No Structure: Without a roadmap, it’s easy to get lost. Beginners often dive into page one without knowing where the story is headed. By page 30, they’re stuck - the momentum’s gone, the plot’s meandering, and the whole thing gets abandoned. Structure isn’t a cage - it’s a compass. Once you know your beginning, middle, and end, you always know where you’re going.
2. No Accountability: Writing is lonely work. When it’s just you and the blank page, it’s far too easy to say, “I’ll get to it tomorrow.” But tomorrow turns into next week, and next week turns into never. Deadlines matter. Knowing someone’s expecting your pages changes everything.
3. No Support: Even if you do manage to write pages, it’s tough to keep going without feedback. Are you on the right track? Is your dialogue working? Are your characters believable? Without support, doubt creeps in. And doubt is the #1 killer of creativity.

That’s why I created Zero to Hero: Screenwriting for Beginners. Over 12 weeks, you get structure, accountability, and support - the exact things most beginners are missing.

• Structure: I’ll walk you step by step through the process of building a screenplay, from idea to finished draft.
• Accountability: You’ll have small weekly assignments and live sessions to keep you on track.
• Support: You’ll share your pages, get real-time feedback from me, and be part of a private group of fellow writers on the same journey.

By the end, you’ll have your very first finished screenplay - and the confidence to keep writing.
