ABOUT THE WEBINAR

"Dude with a Problem." "Fool Triumphant." "Golden Fleece." Have you heard such terms bandied about by screenwriter friends, as they describe and develop their screenplays? If you have, it's because Blake Snyder's Save the Cat books are arguably the most popular and helpful screenwriting tools to emerge in the last decade -- and some of his fun phraseology has seeped into the consciousness of writers around the world.

And it's a good thing -- because along with his 15-point "Beat Sheet" structure paradigm, his ten "genres" (and fifty "subgenres") have brought a new language and approach to the study of what makes movie stories work -- and what successful scripts seem to have in common. He came up with an original set of story types that account for virtually every successful movie one could name. And he showed how, for instance, Forrest Gump, Legally Blonde and The 40-Year-Old Virgin are all really the same kind of movie: each centers on a seeming "fool" with positive values, who meets up with a more worldly "establishment," and after going through some sort of "transmutation," turns out to be wiser than everyone, and impacts this world in a positive way (i.e. the "Fool Triumphant").

In this webinar, multiple Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning screenwriter Erik Bork (HBO's BAND OF BROTHERS) will lay out how each of these genres work, with numerous movie examples -- and discuss the common pitfalls and challenges that come with each type of story. (See his updated chart of the genres and subgenres, to learn more.) He will explain how these genres have transformed his approach to writing and working with writers, and how they can be instrumental in developing movie ideas into potentially marketplace screenplays.

Spec scripts that sell -- and movies that studios make -- tend to fit squarely and pretty obviously within one of these ten narrative categories. And it's amazing how much wide variation there can be within each genre. (For instance, The Hangover, Up and Saving Private Ryan are all "Golden Fleeces".) What the "genres" really focus on is the type of story problem, conflict-laden situation, and relatable main character goal that is meant to drive audience emotional investment in the story (while also greatly entertaining them). By understanding these underlying templates for commercial screenwriting, writers can take some of the guess work out of the idea generation process -- and elevate their concepts and scripts to a new level.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

  • The keys to getting the audience invested in a particular story outcome
  • The elements of a workable logline, and how the ten genres can help
  • When it's okay for the audience's goal to differ from the main character's
  • Why a consistently problematic central dramatic situation is so important
  • Why Erin Brockovich is a "Superhero" (hint: it involves helping others)
  • The reason why some great movies seem to have more than one genre
  • Why producers are obsessed with "stakes" -- and why you should be, too
  • How magical and fantastical material works only in certain genres
  • What to do if you discover your idea doesn't fit any of the ten types
  • The role of "what's in the way?" as the central focus of any good script

WHO SHOULD LISTEN

  • Writers who feel they need work on "concept" and "structure"
  • Writers looking for a tool to use in measuring and developing their ideas
  • Writers having trouble figuring out which concept to write
  • Writers who like studying successful movies for comparison and learning
  • Writers facing a challenging rewrite and major story issues
  • Writers trying to find the best way to adapt a true story to the screen
  • Professional or aspiring writers living anywhere in the world
  • Writers looking for inspiration and guidance from someone they can relate to

An excellent strapless option
Size: XX-Large, Color: Nude
Extremely comfortable! It didn’t slip down like some do, so I don’t feel the need to tug it up. Felt like I wasn’t wearing anything at all. I also like that it comes with optional straps. Great coverage. The two things to watch for is the top seam is a little thick, so it won’t work under thin tops, and the pads will move around, but they are easy to adjust or remove. On the whole I find this a great fit and easy to wear, at an excellent price point.

Great!
Size: XX-Large, Color: Nude
REVIEW FROM A REAL PERSON WITH NO FINANCIAL INCENTIVES This is my first time ever wearing a strapless bra and I really like this one! It's very comfy and feels like wearing any other sports bra just, well, without the straps (though they do include straps in the box that you could attach if you wanted). I'm somewhere around a 40DDD and got a 2x and it fits well, though I did wear it to work one day and by the end of the day, it did feel like it was digging/squeezing into my side a bit too much (however it had been 10hrs by then). The bra IS stretchy but if I were really any bigger, I think I'd want to go to a 3x. Only very minor issues with it slipping, nothing even close to where I was worried anything was going to pop out or anything, even after being out in 90F heat.

Stays in place
Size: Medium, Color: White
I’d give the Letts Jolli Push-Up Strapless Bra a solid 3 stars. The fabric quality is actually really nice—it feels soft, smooth, and comfortable against the skin, which is a big plus for something strapless. It also does a great job staying in place. I didn’t have to constantly adjust or worry about it slipping down throughout the day, which is usually my biggest concern with strapless bras. That said, the “push-up” aspect was a bit disappointing. It didn’t really provide much lift or enhancement like I expected, so if you’re looking for noticeable cleavage, this might fall short. Overall, it’s comfortable and reliable for staying put, but it doesn’t quite deliver on the push-up promise.

It holds the girls up!
Size: Large, Color: Nude
This is absolutely the best strapless bra I have ever owned! It stays put, doesn’t ride up or ride down & I don’t have to adjust it. It fits true to size. Worth the money! It’s also not the sexiest bra, but when you just want a strapless bra that holds the girls up, I promise it will do that!

Will be my go to strapless for sleeveless everything
Size: Medium, Color: Nude
Ok so, this did not disappoint. Supportive and has cups/padding so there's no show through. Stays in place. Sturdy will not roll on you or stretch out half way through your day/ evening. Straps are included but not necessary. Do not try to put on right out of the shower. You also need to step into it to pull up. Do not try to pull it over your head. Perfect for under spaghetti string tops/tube tops. I am 135 lbs, 34DD or a 36D depends on bra. I bought a medium and it holds everything tight. I believe I could also go with a large at this weight to have a little less compression.
