Turn on your TV. Check out the multiplexes.  There’s a new protagonist in town… and she’s a woman.

Time to write your female-driven screenplay or TV series!

In this Master Class, you’ll learn:

• Replace “soft” scenes with active moments.
• Create bold character choices without falling into tired stereotypes.
• Turn “girly” chatter into real-woman dialogue.
• Write a female-driven script that sells, without selling out.

You’ll be writing and brainstorming in real time, so bring your laptops and your great ideas!
