1. Introduction
Meet Aaron. He’s an Oscar winner, a TV hitmaker, and the writer of some of the smartest dramas ever to hit the screen. And now, he’s your instructor.
2. Intention & Obstacle
Every great story is born from intentions and obstacles. Learn how to build the “”drive shaft”” that will set your script in motion.
3. Story Ideas
How do you know if your idea is good enough to turn into a script? Aaron walks you through the steps every writer should take to test an idea—and decide whether it will work best in TV or film.
4. Developing Characters: Part 1
Aaron shares some of the decisions he made to develop some of his most unforgettable characters—like The Social Network’s Mark Zuckerberg and The West Wing’s Toby and Leo.
5. Developing Characters: Part 2
Your characters don’t have to be like you—or even likeable. Drawing on examples from A Few Good Men and Steve Jobs, Aaron explains why he always empathizes with his characters even if he disagrees with them.
6. Research
Good research is the key to a great script. Bad research is a waste of time. How can you tell the difference? Aaron shares lessons from Malice and The Social Network to help you gather the information you really need.
7. Incorporating Research
You have pages of research—now what? Avoid clunky exposition and learn how to seamlessly weave research into your story.
8. The Audience
Aaron knows that the audience isn’t just watching his work. They’re participating in it, too. Learn how to write stories that will keep them engaged and entertained.
