Hollywood Commercial

Introduction

Develop a commercial feature to studio standards, from high concept to set pieces

Develops a commercial feature the way a studio would. Covers the high-concept test, a four-quadrant audience, an 8-sequence structure, five or more set pieces worthy of a trailer, rising stakes and a ticking clock, the villain's hidden plan, fair world rules and lean dialogue. Reach for it when a feature has to sell in one sentence and keep a theater watching for two hours.
