IF
AN AUDIENCE DOES NOT CONNECT
WITH A FILM, THE FILM WILL FAIL.
|
Australian
Films have earned the lowest proportion of the total annual
box office in almost a decade! With the right attitude we
can turn this around!
In
today's competitive marketplace, a writer has to know what
hooks an audience. It's more than structure, theme and character
arcs. It's about how to make every creative decision count.
If you've never thought of movies this way, it's a career
changing experience.
This
course is for all filmmakers with an eye on the box office
and for those who have attended my "Writing for Audiences"
classes or lectures, this is a powerful way to see those lessons
in action.
