Most screenwriting training teaches you to edit. This trains you to write.
Analysis is useful, but it skips the part that matters most: learning what a great script feels like on the page, and building the muscle memory to write that way yourself. That is what we train here: a self-paced bootcamp, about thirty minutes of core practice a day with longer reading on some days, and twelve months of access so you can go at your own pace.
Discovery
You read a few pages
From a produced screenplay, close and current. You work out what makes it hold, scene by scene, and note the decisions as you go.
Forgery
You copy a page by hand
Into your own script software, every space and capital. The rhythm, the format and the style get into your hands rather than your notes.
After you enrol
-
Day 1 opens straight away. Nothing is drip-fed.
-
You work about thirty minutes a day, at whatever hour suits you, with a longer reading block on some days.
-
At the midpoint you send a synopsis and a script report. Karel reads both and writes back.
-
Finish the course and the report, and the certificate unlocks.

Karel Segers
Karel Segers sold his first produced screenplay 5 years after seeing STAR WARS as a 12-year old. Today he is a writer and producer, with experience in film rights acquisition, development and production. Karel has taught screenwriting worldwide, and his clients include award-winning filmmakers as well as multiple Oscar-nominees. After teaching for a decade, Karel created the Immersion method for screenwriting. This simple approach beats traditional theories as it requires less time, is more engaging, and generates far better results. Karel founded The Story Department and www.Logline.it! and ranks amongst the most influential people for screenwriting on social media.
Before you start
You need a screenwriting app you are comfortable in, and about thirty minutes a day you can actually protect. The work is small and daily — that is the whole method.
