WOW! I just saw Becoming Led Zeppelin. It’s quite the most exhilarating movie I’ve seen in years, about the formation of this world-changing great band. And it’s a full-on concert movie! I sat in the front row and rocked out. Don’t miss it in the theater. Take your kids. youtu.be/EDKC77QS8WM?...

THINK DEEPLY ABOUT YOUR STORY BEFORE YOU BUILD IT The rich possibilities inherent in your unformed story begin to coalesce as you assemble its DNA. The raw elements & how you weave them constitute much of the story, so pay careful attention to them as you get started. Train with me at script.kitchen

“From within the swarm of gimmicky screenwriting seminars & trendy new how-to’s, it is Jeff Kitchen’s approach, relying heavily on the classic principles of dramatic structure & logic, that emerges as truly innovative.” Erin Quigley – Producer/Development Executive, 23 Red Productions script.kitchen

BUILD YOUR SCRIPT AROUND A STRONG DILEMMA Core to the technique I teach is to trap your protagonist in a good strong dilemma that constitutes the full proportion of your story. In Training Day, Jake is caught between his ambition & his moral compass--and that's what the movie's about. bit.ly/4gQwxn7

PEOPLE SEEK MEANING AND CLOSURE A great ending in a movie needs substance & real closure, which fills a deep need in people. Audiences hunger for transformation, & a great movie delivers it powerfully & well. The final effect is the principle effect, so work to make your ending great. script.kitchen
