Who Else Wants A Screenplay Mentor?

 

Imagine if you had your very own Hollywood screenwriting mentor.

A writer-producer whose script, FIRESTORM, sold for $750,000 and was made into the film of the same title.
Someone to walk you through the entire development of your script as if you were going through the same process with a Hollywood studio…
Who you could speak with whenever you need him as you’re guided every step of the way from selecting a marketable concept…
To having your completed screenplay considered for production by your mentor himself.
Sound too good to be true?
Then you haven’t met Million-Dollar Screenwriter Chris Soth.
In just the past year alone, Chris has shot one film, finished postproduction on another and raised $3 million for a third — all for scripts he helped guide from beginning idea to final draft. 

And now he wants to do the same for YOUR movie. 

It’s all part of his comprehensive 12-Month Mentorship Program in which you’ll bring Chris your ideas, work with him directly to develop the best concept, and under his guidance….develop, write, and rewrite that screenplay until it’s ready to be shown to his representation. 
Simply put, it’s just like working with a producer who wants to develop your screenplay…except THIS producer is also your collaborator and mentor! One who’s successfully done everything you’re trying to do as a professional screenwriter.
Chris is also the creator of the Mini-Movie Method — the same step-by-step sequence structure he used to create his $750,000 screenplay. In fact, many of this year’s Academy Award nominees use this same structure because every two-hour movie is really 8 Mini-Movies.
As you proceed through Chris’ Mentorship program, you’ll learn the secret to Mini-Movies and how they “raise the stakes” and amp the tension of your entire screenplay. In fact, you’ll be writing and rewriting a new “Mini-Movie” every month with Chris’ continuous personal feedback.
Most screenwriters spend months, sometimes YEARS, toiling away on a screenplay HOPING someone, anyone, in Hollywood will read it when they're done.
But the sad fact is, many agencies and managers have POLICIES IN PLACE against reading YOUR SCREENPLAY.
When was the last time you were writing a screenplay you KNEW reps in Hollywood would want to read?
Ever?
It can happen this year with Chris Soth’s mentorship program…
 

 

How will mentoring increase my chance of selling my script?

First off, you're going to write your best script ever, as far as character, theme, story, AND concept are concerned. Can you say you've written your best screenplay? The best one you'll ever write? Why not make it your next one?
Second, "two heads are better than one"! Did you ever wish you had a collaborator or brainstorm partner to bounce ideas off, or better yet, to GIVE you GREAT IDEAS on a stubborn plot point, scene or character beat? A collaborator who will give YOU ALL the money and credit? Even better! 
Lastly — Chris Soth has not only been in every creative situation and solved every problem you're likely to encounter many times before, but he's sold screenplays, pitches, done studio assignments AND produced and directed his own films — he'll bring all his experience advice to bear when it comes to polishing, marketing, pitching and optioning or selling your material for production. 
 

Who is Chris Soth?

Chris Soth, your screenplay mentor, has been in the entertainment industry his entire life and a screenwriter for the last 20 years. He first broke onto the scene with the sale of his screenplay, FIRESTORM for $750,000 — his thesis screenplay, while he was still an MFA student at USC. FIRESTORM was produced by 20th Century Fox while Chris was adapting the work of Arthur C. Clarke (2001) for Universal. 
 
He is the producer of DON'T FALL ASLEEP, and director of the upcoming SAFEWORD. Chris's second produced film, OUTRAGE: BORN IN TERROR, freatures Michael Madsen and Natash Lyonne. 
 
He is the author "MILLION-DOLLAR SCREENWRITING: THE MINI-MOVIE METHOD" and created The Mini-Movie Method to help writers stuck in Act Two GET THAT SCRIPT WRITTEN. Chris has mentored over 400 screenwriters around the world to finished screenplays and helped created thousands of full pitches and outlines for features in every genre and story-type, including selling pitches and writing on assignment for major Hollywood Studios. 
 

How does it work?

Get ready for your own "studio development deal" — ONLY BETTER! Because you'll be working with a WRITER-producer. As often as you need, you'll get your your own private meeting with Chris, LIVE, on Chris's private conference line, recorded on MP3 and sent to you for your records (but you'll probably want to take notes too!). Each step of the way, a private meeting — brainstorming for ideas, selecting and tweaking your log line, outlining your screenplay with Mini-Movies — the best outline you'll ever have — AND CHRIS WILL READ EVERY PAGE OF YOUR SCREENPLAY, LIVE — with you, on the phone, and offer feedback on every scene, beat and line of every page — 
 
— and when your screenplay is done? A FULL SCRIPT READ, by Chris (usually $1500), with a two-hour notes session and ongoing rewrite 
guidance and consultaition! 
 
PLUS: Live, in-person meetings with Chris if you live in L.A., or are visiting, weekly Office Hours and group workshops by phone, regular email contact and support, and Chris's private cell phone for emergencies!
 

What difference will mentoring make in my screenplay? 

Your. Best. Screenplay. Ever. You'll be using the best method for structuring story and writing screenplays ever devised, as used by hundreds of writers from The University of Southern California and refined by Chris in creating his own 40+ screenplays, over 100 pitches, and thousands of stories for his clients, AND you'll have a produced screenwriter, MFA and WGA member guiding you EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. 
 
You don't have to reinvent the wheel. There are quick solutions to most of the problems you're going to run into. Chris has solved most of them before.
 
Let Chris put your story on steroids!
 
What's the difference between normal feedback and mentoring?
 
Most script consultants give "studio-style coverage", or, for a higher fee, "development notes". In the first case, you might just get a "pass", or "consider", sometimes with no explanation as to why. In the second, problems may be identified and perhaps solutions will even be recommended — but what about —
 
  • help IMPLEMENTING those suggestions?
  • guidance developing the script so you avoid most of those problems in the first place?
  • reading your script aloud, with you, each and every step of the way!
 
Most consultants and readers will leave you on your own — Chris will be there for regular meetings with you developing the script from idea to outline, to first draft, rewrite, second rewrite, holding your hand and pointing the way — the RIGHT WAY TO WRITE YOUR BEST SCREENPLAY EVER — and advise you on marketing it and getting it read!
 

How does this prepare me to work with a producer?

The slightest mistake in formatting or typo can mark your script as "unprofessional" and make an actor, director, producer or executive stop reading and "pass". That's IF you've gotten past all the "gatekeepers" and are lucky enough to even have a decision-maker reading your work. And BEFORE your work is held up to the gold standard of Hollywood's best blockbusting megahits where it might be eliminated for an unsympathetic main character, logic hole or other storytelling error…
 
…that's why you want Chris on your side. So you have A REAL SCREENPLAY DEVELOPMENT EXPERIENCE under your belt!
 
…it's a long and treachorous journey, even a minefield — remember, we're asking giant conglomerates to risk tens of millions in hopes of making HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS. All on our words on paper and a dream. Wouldn't you like the guidance of someone who's been there before, countless times — maybe to make some mistakes in a safe way — and so you know the right play to make at the right time — when there's money and movies on the line!
