Cut through the noise of conventional screenwriting wisdom and discover which "rules" actually matter – and which ones are holding you back.

“Never use voiceover!” “Your inciting incident must happen by page 12!” The screenwriting world is drowning in rules, formulas, and must-follow guidelines. But how many of these supposedly iron-clad commandments actually make your script better? And how many are just recycled opinions that have somehow become “law”?
In this refreshingly candid session, veteran screenwriting instructor Scott Myers takes a hard, honest look at the most common screenwriting rules and examines which ones deserve their hallowed status – and which ones need to be thrown out the window.
Stop letting arbitrary rules hold your creativity hostage. Whether you’re a rule-follower or a natural rebel, this session will help you understand when to color inside the lines – and when to throw away the coloring book entirely. Join Scott for an unflinching look at what really matters in the craft of screenwriting.
