How do you get a producer, agent, manager, or A-list actor to fall in love with your characters?

This is a question every screenwriter should ask...and discover the answer to. It is crucial that you are able to create lead characters that do two things:

        1. Be the most compelling forces in your story.

        2. Meet the needs of the industry players who will make your script into a movie.

Know this: There are solutions and strategies that can help you to accomplish those two objectives -- and double or triple the quality of your screenplay in the process.

The truth is that most screenwriters have never even met an agent, producer, or A-list actor. And even if you have, chances are that they didn't share the exact things you need to know in order to make your script sell.

But they talked with us...and answered every question we asked.

Hi, I'm Hal Croasmun. Over the last 10 years, I've interviewed over 450 producers. And three years ago, I set out on a mission to solve this extremely important mystery...

        What about the lead character causes an A-List actor to sign onto a screenplay?

During that time, we specifically interviewed 30 A-List Actor-owned production companies and asked the questions you need answers to.

Questions like:

        - What causes an actor to fall in love with a character?

        - How does an actor read a script differently than a producer?

        - What needs to be in the character introduction to entice your actor?

        - What do actors need throughout the script to keep the actor engaged?

        - How does a role improve the reputation of your actor?

        - Does role-choice make any difference to the amount of money your actor makes in the future?

        - How does the actor's agent and manager play a role in that decision?

And what does all of this have to do with you and your screenplay?

Every agent, manager, and producer in Hollywood is looking for great roles!

Knowing what the needs of an actor are gives you the power to create a great role that will instantly be recognized by agents, managers, and producers.

They all know that having a Movie Star attached to a script will get it greenlit by a Studio. To them, a great lead character is pure gold.

The "Movie Stars" class provides the strategies you need...and they're easy!

You'll learn...

How to create Character Profiles that get to the heart of the character...while discovering exactly what causes them to make decisions and take actions.
How to give your characters unique voices -- and more important, how to express their voice through dialogue so every character has their own unique way of talking.
How to write character introductions that instantly sell actors on the part.
How to use the Nine Actor Attractors to make sure an actor (producer, manager, and agent) fall deeply in love with your story.
How to write "Actor Bait" that will lure an actor into your script and be the scene that they say "I read that scene and just had to be in this movie." (See Geoffrey Rush quote below)

And much more.

This isn't just about actors -- every agent manager and producer is looking for great roles!

Every day of this class, you’ll see dramatic improvements in the quality of your lead characters.

Why is this so important?

Because the truth of this business is that your movie will never be greenlit without an A-list actor attached.
In fact, from the moment an A-list actor, an agent, manager, or producer picks up your script, it only takes 1-3 pages for them to determine if your protagonist or antagonist has been written by a pro.

Creating Roles for Movie Stars literally puts you in an actor’s shoes to make sure that your lead characters address their specific needs and motivations — tripling the marketability of your script.

And if you can improve your lead characters by just 25%, your screenplay will often improve by 100% or more.

The examples of great lead characters I’ve provided for you in your free videos have only just scratched the surface of the critical techniques you’ll learn in Creating Roles For Movie Stars…all for just $199! For the first 100 people, you can get in for $50 off at a price of $149. So don’t delay, sign up now!

“This class created a major breakthrough for me. While tinkering with new ways to introduce the characters to make them appealing to an A-list actor I was challenged to find answers that made my characters come to life. It caused a chain of events that made me rethink aspects of the story and the characters relationship with each other and other characters as well. The entire screenplay just blossomed right before my eyes.”
- Jeff Eagle

Until now, no one has created a system that shows you step-by-step how to create the kind of role that actually addresses a movie star’s complex motivations when they choose to take a part.
And if you can understand what A-list actors NEED in a role, you have a much better chance of getting an actor to fall in love with your characters.
A much better chance not only of having your script optioned, but MADE into a movie.

I can’t wait to share it with you.

2. Class with Peer Feedback -- $149.

You'll be suprised how much you'll learn in this class. Basic feeback comes from the group and will be guided by our famous Skill Mastery Sheets that keep writers focused on the exact skills taught in the class. At the conclusion of each module, you'll post a final assignment and
exchange feedback with the group.

Because the Skill Mastery Sheet causes writers to focus on the specific skills taught, we recommend you stick with the Basic Feedback. And since the group is posting their basic feedback in our private forums, you will learn from many different perspectives on the same set of skills.

That will be more than enough feedback for most writers, but if you truly feel you need more, then use option #1 -- Professional Level Feedback.
