LA's, New York's, and London's most popular screenwriting and development master class

(For fiction writers, too!)

"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 "The Women in Black," "X-Men: First Class," "Kick-Ass," "Stardust," and the upcoming films: "Kick-Ass 2" and "The Debt."

My whole writing career literally took off two months after I attended David Freeman's "Beyond Structure." Utilzing what I had learned in the class, I wrote a pilot for USA Networks. Because of the success of the USA Network pilot, they asked me to write the TV adaption of the film "Thank You for Smoking." which was the second of three pilots I sold since attending David's class (two for USA Networks, one for NBC). I truly believe I owe my wriitng career to the techniques I learned from "Beyond Structure."

– James Dodson, former VP of Production, 20th Century Fox. Writer/director "Behind Enemy Lines 2," and numerous television pilots. He also produced "Chronicle" for Fox.

David Freeman Showing 13 "Empathy Techniques" in "Wall-E"

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.

"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." Andrew Harrison Read testimonials from professional screenwriters...
