Words To Film By: A Screenwriters Guide For The Road

Do you have a story and believe it would make a great movie, but don't know where to start?

Do you want to learn how to write a screenplay, something that a movie studio or a production company might like to buy or option? Do you want to learn how to write a gripping story, that's impossible for a reader to put down? Do you want to learn how to write words that are visually cinematic, properly formatted, and pragmatically marketable? Or are you an established writer who wants to learn new techniques? If your answer is yes to any of these questions, then you want to learn how to use Words to Film By.

Our online and in-person "Words to Film By" screenwriting workshops have helped guide countless aspiring screenwriters on their path. Many screenwriting books and courses make wild claims that they will guarantee that you will sell or option your script, if you buy their book and follow their rules. There is no magic pill that will help you succeed as a screenwriter. Our book does not teach you grammar, spelling and punctuation, it doesn't even teach you how to write. Our book will help you create characters, plots, scenes, dialogue, and help you format your story in the correct way. By the time you've finished our Words to Film By book and or course, you'll have a great blueprint for completing your screenplay and the knowledge on how to start marketing yourself, as a screenwriter. Whether you are trying to write a high concept Hollywood blockbuster or just a low-budget film, we'll help you take your shot at the screenwriting.



We're Rich Goteri and Mike Mili and we've compiled and developed a method of applied writing principles, which we call: "WORDS TO FILM BY." Together, we have determined to share this method with everyone who wants to take a shot at screenwriting. You'll not only learn how to create and format your screenplay, but you'll also learn how to write a treatment, how to pitch to producers, how to write a tag line, how to register your scripts and how to get an agent, -we've included a list and a link to signatory literary agents once you are ready. Best of all we've included a set of simple writing exercises that will help you get on the right path to completing your screenplay. Another bonus we have included, (though we can't give legal advice) we've included online copyright forms, nondisclosure, collaboration, and option agreements and much more. Though this Words to Film By book was designed to accompany the course and workshops, it works well on its own. Enjoy your journey and happy writing.
