Coen Brothers and the Craft of Storytelling

Seventeen years ago this week, the movie The Big Lebowski opened. Here is a taste of this wondrous Coen brothers movie:

Perfect timing because beginning Monday, March 16, I will be offering my popular 1-week online class The Coen Brothers and the Craft of Storytelling.

If you are a Coen brothers fan — which you should be!!! — here is a great opportunity to immerse yourself in their movies and discover story principles and dynamics these incredible filmmakers use, knowledge you can bring to bear on your own writing.

Learn about the importance of ordinary person /extraordinary situation, the dynamism of violence, the morally complicated universe, the dramatic potential of misunderstandings, authority figures, grand schemes and much, much — “Shut the fuck up, Donnie!” — more.

Workshop your own story using these same principles as well as insider tips, enabling you to put theory into practice. The class includes:

Seven lectures written by Scott Myers
Special insider tips
Daily forum Q&As
Workshop writing assignments (optional) with instructor and class feedback
A 90-minute live teleconference between instructor and class members

This is the only time I will be teaching this class in 2015 and if it’s anything like previous sessions, we are going to rock and roll!

The Dude abides. And so can you! Join me, won’t you, in my Coen Brothers and the Craft of Storytelling class. Enroll here now!
