Name: Screenwriting 102
Rating: 5

This class is open to students who have taken Nils Osmar’s Screenwriting 101 class, or who have the instructor’s permission. Students who complete both classes will receive a Certificate in Screenwriting Fundamentals.

In it, each student will be working to complete a portion of a full (90-120 page) screenplay. The goal will be for each student to get a solid start on writing a full-length screenplay during the four weeks of the class. We’ll focus on understanding and integrating the Hero’s Journey, also known as the Monomyth, and get a gut-level understanding of how to use it to structure and begin writing your screenplay.

As with Rekindle’s other writing classes, there will be opportunities to workshop your script in class and to get feedback from the instructor and others. Instructor: Nils Osmar

Student Reviews

I’d recommend it to everyone.

Hi Nils, your screenplay writing class is great, I would recommend it to everyone. You explain things in a way that is simple but extremely helpful. I loved the writing exercises and lectures.

Life changing classes.

I took the acting class, let’s make a movie, and the screenwriting class from Nils Osmar. They were all excellent in a life changing way.

Totally happy!

It was a great (class) for me and I’m totally happy with it.

Kris T. (Kent)

Excited to get back to my screenplay.

I took a class from (another instructor/school) last year and felt kind of discouraged afterwards; I think he was a discouraged screenwriter and passed that along! I feel encouraged since your class, and am excited to get back to my screenplay.

No longer stuck!

I’m happy with the result of class… I feel liberated instead of stuck. I’ve been writing again and am very pleased.

Pitching and finding an agent…

Thank you for your explanation of how the pitching process works, and how to find an agent

Writing is easy now!

I turned some kind of a corner and writing has been easy since the class. Thank you!

I can’t believe what I came up with!

The class was really helpful, especially the exercises in writing scenes and writing a complete (very short!) screenplay. I can’t believe what I came up with and what other people in the class came up with for that exercise. It was a real window into the amazing creativity we all have inside of us.
