jane goldman "Beyond Structure is without question the most valuable class I've ever taken. Over the years, I've recommended it to aspiring screenwriters and pros alike - I can't think of anyone who wouldn't stand to benefit from learning the techniques that David teaches."

– Jane Goldman, screenwriter of "Kick Ass," "Stardust," and "The Debt" (to be released in 2010)

Many people study writing theory only to find that their scripts or books don't live up to their potential. Their work contains periodic moments of true magic, but not enough.

Theory alone will never take you where you need to go.

That's why "Beyond Structure" skips the theory and instead offers you 200 specific, proven, and amply illustrated writing techniques that help you create —

  • Riveting plots
  • Unique and layered characters
  • Unforgettable scenes, and
  • Dialogue that's engaging, emotionally evocative, and has sound and rhythms of natural speech

Suddenly you're writing with a level of artistic mastery and confidence that previously seemed difficult to consistently attain.

The many articles on this site give you just the smallest taste of what's in store for you in this fun, stimulating, and fast-moving 2-day screenwriting class, with its 200 separate (but highly organized) writing techniques, brought vividly to life through film clips, script samples, and David's passion, clarity, energy, and warmth.

There's a reason that these techniques have never been explicity identified and taught before: They're secret.

What does "Beyond Structure" offer ...

100% Money-Back Guarantee
By 4:00p.m. of the first day of Beyond Structure, your writing or development skills will dramatically improve in your own estimation -- or you get all your money back.
David has no other wish than that these techniques help you enhance and communicate your own unique creative vision.
"I'd strongly recommend David's high-powered workshop to anyone who's serious about screenwriting.
David Freeman guided me through five rewrites of my first script, giving me feedback and input on plot twists, characters, dialogue...the entire gamut.

The script sold for $200,000 against $400,000 when the film gets made."
