"The difference in my writing has been phenomenal. I've been learning to be a writer for as long as I can remember. Thanks to this series of courses, I'm finally realizing the level I believed I was capable of, but couldn't quite achieve before. "

Why Subtext is so Critical to the Success of Your Screenplay
At the end of When Harry Met Sally, Sally tells Harry “I hate you,” but we know she means the opposite.And that’s why it moves us so deeply.
That’s subtext. The meaning behind the words. The kind of emotional, memorable moment this class will teach you how to make … over and over again in every area of your script.
Just like in real life, your characters should rarely say what they really mean. Instead, their true feelings should be subtly hidden amongst their dialogue and actions.
Subtext is what hooks your audience scene-by-scene, word-by-word. It’s the difference between flat, superficial screenplays and pro-level scripts that make us feel a story is real. For many readers and producers, a script without the kind of depth created by consistent subtext gets a potentially career-ending "pass."
And until now, it was almost impossible for anyone but a professional screenwriter to understand.
The Secret to Giving Readers the Emotional Experience They Crave
When an audience tries to figure out what's REALLY going on, what's REALLY being said, and what the REAL INTENT is behind your characters’ words and actions, readers fall in love with your story.
Why? Because you’ve learned how to connect with them at a deep, unconscious level.
But that’s not all . Learning how to create such meaningful subtext goes far beyond simply avoiding “on the nose” dialogue. If you’re going to engage readers at the deepest levels, then you must learn how to build subtext into your plot, character, relationships, scene design, symbols, and action.
