About the Event
When you purchase a ticket to this session, you’ll receive a $25 credit coupon toward another Story Summit class.
In this one-hour session, Carl Ellsworth will teach you why you don’t need any more problems—but your protagonist absolutely needs one—preferably a REALLY BIG, LIFE-ALTERING, EARTH-SHATTERING ONE! The “big problem” that visits your protagonist in the first act generates momentum, drive, and much-needed urgency in your script. In this Lunch and Learn, we’ll zero in on and simply define your big problem, because everything depends on it!
