WORKSHOP HIGHLIGHT 

Picture
What to expect in a Script Analysis Workshop
In this immersive session, delve into the intricacies of storytelling as we dissect acclaimed screenplays and TV scripts. Learn to pinpoint key narrative elements—such as structure, character development, and dialogue—that elevate a script from good to great.
  • Pre-Session Preparation and Engagement Upon registering, you'll receive the script in advance. This allows you to analyze the story beats at your own pace and prepare any specific questions you might have. During the workshop, we’ll examine the script page-by-page together, ensuring all your questions are thoroughly addressed.
  • Post-Session Resources After the workshop, you'll receive a copy of the instructor's annotated notes within the script. This valuable resource lets you compare and contrast your insights with expert analysis, deepening your understanding and refining your analytical skills.
Who Should Attend Whether you’re just starting out or you're an experienced writer aiming to sharpen your script analysis capabilities, this workshop is designed to provide you with the critical tools needed to assess and improve your projects effectively.

MORE TESTIMONIALS
I attended TPP's breakdown of The Harder They Fall and as always it was very insightful. This was a great intersection for me of material I personally enjoyed and a meaningful discussion of craft. I look forward to attending future webinars that come available.
Charlene
The TPP workshop presenter is just majestic in this workshop. TPP is wise and experienced and points out things that are hard to catch. I love their guidance and straightforward suggestions.
Tonatiuh M.
The session was very informative and engaging. I learned a lot about the structure, raising stakes and I learned incredible tools as to how I can go about organizing and analyzing the scripts I read. The Friday Night Lights script was an excellent choice as it had a lot to offer in terms of learning important terms that writers use in giving the characters their unique stories. TPP's way of teaching is inspiring, creative and on point! Looking forward to more such sessions!
Priyasha M.
I learned so much in this one class! I recommend people utilize any of the services/classes provided by Professional Pen.

WhoTF has time for Film School? Pt. III was one of the most enjoyable and informative classes that I have ever taken. We dissected a script that was produced but that had more than a few flaws. In doing this, we were able to reevaluate our own work. I have never had so much fun and laughed so hard while learning so darn much. This will not be the last class that I take with TPP. I highly recommend studying and getting your craft together with them!
Lisa L.
The Professional Pen has been key to my development. Attending each workshop helps to give me perspective on what a professional screenplay should look like, as well as what bad habits to avoid. The Professional Pen has taught me what things help build and take away from a great screenplay. I would recommend the Professional Pen to anyone aspiring to grow in their writing craft.
