Jill Chamberlain’s Nutshell Technique: Crack the Secret to Screenplay Story Structure

Event Date: Saturday, August 17, 2019 || Speaker: Jill Chamberlain  || Check-in: 12:30 pm ||

According to author and script consultant Jill Chamberlain, 99% of first-time screenwriters fail to tell a story. What those writers do instead is present a situation. Do you know the difference? In this information-packed session, Jill will walk through the Nutshell Technique, the method she created to visually demonstrate to writers the difference and to show them how to transform mere situations into surprising and satisfying stories. Bring your 90-second story pitch if you like. Jill will walk through a few volunteers’ story pitches and help them use the Nutshell Technique to maximize their stories’ dramatic impact. See more details below:
