A screenwriting workshop, over Zoom, for people who'd rather write and finish the draft than keep talking about writing and finishing the draft.
Depending on which session you choose, all you need is an idea, a stalled outline, or a draft you're too close to see clearly anymore. We put it up on the wall — metaphorically, it's Zoom — and spend the next six weeks taking it apart and building it back better. Structure, technique, and the kind of notes that actually tell you what to fix from a writer who's had 11 years of industry notes.
Named the way script pages get named when a script is revised: white, blue, pink. Outline, draft, rewrite. Start wherever your project actually lives.
Build a workable outline from scratch — structure, stakes, and the shape of the whole movie before you commit to a single scene. Learn what the backbone of a movie is before trying to write one. You'll leave with an outline you can actually write from.
Good for: an idea, a logline, three loose acts, and a prayer.
Turn your outline — or your nerve — into an actual draft. Six sessions, spaced out to give you real writing time between classes — so you're not just talking about the pages, you're producing them.
Good for: writers who are finally ready to write the thing.
Bring a completed draft and take it apart on purpose: what's working, what's quietly not, and how to rewrite it without burning the whole thing down and starting over.
Good for: a finished script that needs a second, smarter pass.
Same notes, same craft, just one-on-one instead of a room full of writers. Good for a quick gut-check, a full read of your script or pitch, or both plus a live conversation about what to do next.
Not sure what you need yet? This is a straightforward conversation — career strategy, a project you're circling, or just "where do I even start." No pages required.
Good for: writers who need a sounding board more than a script read.
Send your feature script or full pitch ahead of time. You'll get a thorough, honest set of written notes — what's working, what's not, and what to actually do about it.
Good for: writers who want real coverage, not a group discussion.
Everything in Take Two — a full read and written notes — plus a 30-minute Zoom to talk through them live, ask questions, and leave with a clear plan for the rewrite.
Good for: writers who want notes and a conversation about how to use them.
Brandy Finmark has spent eleven years selling scripts, staffing on shows, and learning — mostly the hard way — what actually gets a draft from "pretty good" to "getting sold." Brandy is a WGA screenwriter and TV writer, and has spent the last eight years teaching the craft to writers who now have reps, sales, and contest placements of their own.
This isn't theory borrowed from a screenwriting book. It's what's worked, what hasn't, and what a room full of honest notes can do for a script that's stuck.
Seats are limited and tend to go before the six weeks even start. Tell us which room fits your script, and we'll follow up with the current schedule and how to pay — or use the Enroll & Pay button on the room above to book directly.
