BEAT SHEET SEMINAR 

LIVE IN NEW YORK! 

August 15 - 16, 2009

AT THE MARRIOTT NEW YORK, EAST SIDE

New York City, NY 10017

 Greetings!

Blake Snyder, the author of   Save the Cat!�, returns to New York for a two-day seminar for screenwriters, novelists, playwrights, copywriters, and anyone interested in the secrets of better storytelling.

If you want the "green light" on your film script or TV project in 2009, there is no better guide than "one of Hollywood's most successful spec screenwriters," whose breakthrough storytelling methods are now in use at major studios and production companies around the world.

Learn the tactics to turn your idea into a "story that resonates" and get a preview of Blake's sensational new book, Save the Cat!� Strikes Back: More Trouble for Screenwriters to Get Into...and Out of. 

THE WORKING WRITER'S WEAPON - THE BEAT SHEET SEMINAR

"I took one of the very first STC! Beat Sheet Workshops and reworked a script which sold to Tom Shadyac and Universal. The workshop is quite simply the best out there for any level of writer, and Blake's guidance and enthusiasm is unparalleled" 

- Ben Frahm, Screenwriter, Dr. Sensitive

Move from concept to logline to structure to execution of specific scenes as Blake demonstrates the techniques used to create, write, and sell your story, including new tips revealed for the first time:

The difference between the "pitch" and the "logline" - and why you must learn how to craft the perfect version of each.

An in-depth look at the Blake Snyder Beat Sheet: the 15 beats of every story, with focus on "Bad Guys Close In," "All is Lost," "Dark Night of the Soul," and the "Turn into Act Three."

An overview of Blake's 10 genres, with special attention to the "surprise" hits of the new year - and beat-by-beat examples of both low budget independent films and studio blockbusters from Blake's Save the Cat!� Goes to the Movies.

Why the B Story must tie into Theme, and is only resolved in the hero's "Moment of Clarity" that every story is really about.

What key lesson is found in a "Tom and Jerry" cartoon you will never forget - and always use - when developing any script.

The secret of the never-fail "Five Point Finale" to help you find the "Storming the Castle" beats of any Act Three climax.

These and other essentials of the Save the Cat!� method - and much more - will be revealed in a fun, fast-paced, 2-day seminar.

PLUS: The chance to pitch your story to Blake with in-class feedback, work out its beats, and position you to get "ready to shoot" in 2009!
