Do You Want to CHANGE LIVES With Your Movie??
Many ‘change the world’ scripts end up reading like propaganda or sermonizing to audiences.
And audiences don’t want to get told what to think, let alone spend $20 at a theater for the privilege!
Writing The Profound Screenplay
Writing The Profound Screenplay
But movies CAN change people’s lives… when you write them to be profound.
“Wow! What a class and the insights learned. It was simple to follow with the examples, and the movie selections highlighted the profound map… It certainly goes beyond thinking within the 3 act structure and character diamonds so popularly taught… It is a must course for both the beginner and experienced screenwriters.”
– Anna Marie Hernandez
Make A Difference Through Great Storytelling
The perfect marriage of ‘message’ and ‘entertainment’ comes when the Profound meaning is INTEGRAL to the story.
Without that meaning, the story and its emotional impact wouldn’t be the same!
When producers read REMEMBER THE TITANS, they didn’t see it as another “cause movie.” They saw a great football story about people defeating racism to become an AMAZING team.
And you can do the same with your story.
Put Profound Meaning Into Any Script
We designed this class to bake profound meaning into the bedrock of any screenplay – so you can weave it throughout the entire story.
You’ll see these movies analyzed to better learn where Profound writing appears and how to write it yourself:
- 12 Angry Men
- Groundhog Day
- Dead Poets Society
- Gandhi
- Remember The Titans
- Seabiscuit
- The Matrix
The skills in the class’ 16 lessons will transform your writing – and all of them together in a script will give you the Profound core that can make a real difference.
“The Profound Screenplay Class will spur creativity in SO many ways, and on SO many levels, helping a writer find the Profound Truth of their story, constructing it clearly, and cementing it in the end… Extremely valuable to every writer, no matter the discipline.”
– Robin F. Gainey (award-winning novelist)

Nicola Pittam, Optioned Screenwriter
From the very first lesson, the Profound Screenwriter Class has improved my writing. I’ve had breakthroughs which I’ve been able to apply to a new script idea and elevate it beyond anything I thought it could be.

The Profound Screenplay Class will spur creativity in SO many ways, and on SO many levels, helping the writer find the Profound Truth of their story, constructing it clearly, and cementing it in the end. The result will be a wonderful template to aid in the writing of your story, in novel OR screenplay form.

Wow! What a class and the insights learned. It was simple to follow with the examples, and the movie selections highlighted the profound map. This writing journey was a real eye opener for a novice searching for a way to begin and end. It is a must course for both the beginner and experienced screenwriters.
Halloween Bloodfrost
The information freed me to write the stories I need to write. It was like a key that unlocked what I was trying to do and shown a light on how to do it. There is nothing more frustrating than feeling strangled by the story you’re trying to tell. This pathway ignited the means to express myself and helped free me from being lost in the woods.
Melissa Milich
I began this course with only the seed of an idea — not one single scene in mind nor any type of structure. The lessons kept nudging me along, helping me develop scenes and a story based on the Profound model. Now, thirty days later I have 104 pages written on that new screenplay and I probably would not have even started it yet if it hadn’t been for the Profound class.

This class teaches you a powerful yet variable formula for creating insights, characters, and dialogue that are unforgettable. Your genre doesn’t matter—the tools in this class can help make anything from comedy to horror resonate more deeply with audiences, as if they are on your Transformative Character’s journey themselves.
