Screen Story Blueprint: Master the DNA of Successful Screenplays

Storytelling Screenwriting ABCs Lesson

Summary

Stop writing scenes. Start building stories.

Every great film—from Shawshank Redemption to John Wick—follows the same structural DNA. Not because it's formulaic, but because it works. Structure isn't the enemy of creativity; it's what transforms scattered ideas into unstoppable cinematic experiences.

Join Matthew 'MCH' Currie Holmes for Screen Story Blueprint, an intensive Screenwriting Essentials masterclass that reveals the 15 Essential Touchstones—the emotional and narrative beats that separate professional scripts from amateur efforts.

Presented by
