Tomorrow’s event:
Prewriting Your Screenplay: A Guide to Developing Great, Cohesive Stories
Event Date: Saturday, February 15, 2020 || Speaker: Michael Tabb || Check-in: 12:30 pm ||
Michael Tabb will illustrate how to generate a story fit for the movies from a nothing at all (a blank slate), inspired by his book PREWRITING YOUR SCREENPLAY: A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO GENERATING STORIES. This is a method of story foundation building that will help fulfill the necessary elements for concept creation that a writer needs before sitting down to write the actual script.
These methods can be used to brainstorm a story idea for ANY creative writing medium, but there are tools in this technique that specifically help give birth to characters and moments necessary for visual storytelling. Howard Rodman, the president of Hollywood’s Writers Guild of America, West states, “Michael Tabb has thought long, hard, and usefully about how to write screenplays with vision and intent. He understands premise, character, conflict, drama; far more importantly, he can impart wisdom about all of them without condescending or ‘dumbing down.’ I know of no better guide to the work of writing that happens before we write.”

Michael Tabb is a working screenwriter, decade-long current and active member of the WGA (the Writers Guild of America, West is the Hollywood screenwriters’ union), a multiple-award-winning screenwriting educator, and author of a film-festival-winning Best Screenplay. His new book, Prewriting Your Screenplay: A Step-By-Step Guide To Generating Stories, explains how he develops great, cohesive script ideas.
