Unlocking the Structure of the Feature Film [Russ Nickel]
Introductory | In this four-week intensive, we will break down feature films beat by beat, unpacking exactly how a story functions. From daily life to inciting incident to dark night of the soul and beyond, you’ll learn exactly which paths Hollywood-style movies follow. By splitting the 120-page screenplay into six manageable sequences, students will walk away from this course with the kind of deep structural understanding screenwriters must master before diving into their first feature script.
