Wholesome family-centered films often get pushed to the side and relegated as “boring” by Hollywood. Mere Walton, an award-winning screenwriter, is flipping that script with her own script: Off Course. This exciting retelling of The Swiss Family Robinson reminds us that tragedy is inevitable, but joy is a choice. Sit with us for a live editing session of Mere’s screenplay and learn how to:
Write dialogue that sounds realistic, not cringey
Make scenes flow together seamlessly
Structure a story to grab your audience’s attention right from the start
Use originality to make your story stand out, even if you are retelling a classic
Center family in a wholesome narrative that still appeals to a wide audience
Use storytelling tools such as contrast and metaphor to underscore your theme
Seed conflict into every scenes so that your audience is drawn into your story
Pull back the curtain on what it actually looks like to write a screenplay that will turn into a captivating film as you listen on this live editing session. The adventure leaves us all with meaningful reminders as we watch the story unfold of two families who couldn’t be more different learn how to survive together through the tragedies that make us all human.
If what we do here at One Brilliant Arc resonates with you, please consider buying our team a coffee so we can continue helping creatives tell their stories!
