What would the holidays be without a happily-ever-after romance? From Hallmark to Lifetime to Netflix—and even holiday books!— this genre is wildly popular, with plenty of opportunity for aspiring and established writers.
​
This is one of our most beloved Story Summit classes, and we've refashioned it with an all-star faculty lineup and opportunities for you to brainstorm your own holiday movie ideas!
​
How do you plot a classic holiday romance? What do holiday movie producers look for in a script? What kinds of tension are expected between characters, how can you introduce unique twists, and how do you come up with a memorable meet-cute?
​
This two-evening course is for screenwriters and fans alike— for anyone who wants a behind-the-scenes look at the making (and marketing) of holiday joy. And it's all new this year!
