Writing a Great Horror Film with Glenn Benest
One of the best ways to break into the film business as a first time screenwriter is to write a horror film.
The reasons are plentiful: The many millions of horror fans creates a built in market for their release. They’re also extremely desirable to producers as horror films are inexpensive to make, don’t require highly paid stars and can generate substantial rewards at the box office. If successful, they oftentimes launch sequels, which also makes them extremely attractive to production companies.
This free 45 minute webinar will lay out the little known “tricks of the trade” that are vital when writing and then marketing a commercial horror film. We will cover the unique techniques for writing horror and creating scares for your audience. Many successful horror films will be discussed and analyzed as to what they did right to become truly memorable.
His workshops and Private Consultations have launched many feature films including: “Scream,” “Event Horizon,” “Andre,” and “Teaching Mrs. Tingle.”
