The most prudent thing a writer can do is write the stories they are most passionate to tell. Award-winning screenwriter Steven Bagatourian (ALL EYEZ ON ME, AMERICAN GUN) hosts a Webinar that will challenge conventional assumptions about what qualifies as a "commercial idea" for a movie or TV show. Drawing on nearly two decades of experience as a professional screenwriter, Steven will explain how writing stories that many said were "weird" or "impossible to sell" ended up building the foundation for his career.

This 90-Min. Webinar Will Cover:

How to discover the most unique expression of your voice
How to not be boring as a storyteller
How to ruthlessly, yet lovingly edit your writing
How to write material that grabs agents and managers by their throats
