David Freeman’s "Beyond Structure" has grown to be the largest screenwriting workshop in L.A. (where it's offered biannually). It's also offered annually in N.Y. and London. David is a rare breed -- a screenwriting teacher who actually makes the vast majority of his income from writing, not from teaching.

David's unique workshop is distinguished in three ways: (1) David skips all theory and instead offers over 200 proven techniques to give uniqueness and emotional layers to characters, dialogue, plots, and scenes; (2) As mentioned above, the focus isn't on structure (which is covered by so many other courses and books) but on all those other critical areas of screenwriting which must be artful and captivating, beginning with the very first page of your script; and (3) "Beyond Structure" truly is a workshop, not just a seminar, in that David peppers the two days with short writing exercises to ensure you’ll master all the techniques they're learning.

The techniques offered in the workshop are just as valuable for fiction writers and playwrights as they are for screenwriters.

David’s past students include many published novelists, and the writers, directors, producers, and key creative executives behind Good Will Hunting –– the Austin Powers films –– Minority Report –– Meet the Fockers –– Runaway Bride –– The Wedding Singer –– The Fugitive –– Total Recall –– Law & Order –– Buffy the Vampire Slayer –– The Simpsons –– Rush Hour 1 & 2 –– American History X –– Pleasantville –– Roswell –– Everybody Loves Raymond –– E.R. –– Sling Blade –– The X-Files –– Thirteen Days –– Frequency –– Angels in the Outfield –– Star Trek: Voyager / Deep Space Nine –– 12 Monkeys –– Married With Children –– Saturday Night Live –– King of the Hill –– and many other films and TV shows.

“Beyond Structure” is also known for the David’s warmth and off-beat humor, which keeps makes the workshop fun, and, along with all the film clips he shows, keeps the pace upbeat and enjoyable.

There's no better way to get a taste for David's unique technique-based approach to writing than to read some of the many articles David has posted here on StoryLink.com. You'll learn some incredible techniques that you can apply immediately to enrich your characters and stories.

As David says, “In sharing all these techniques, I’m actually creating my own competition as a writer. But since the world is uplifted by art, I feel it's important to share what I know. The greater good is served by each screenwriter succeeding both artistically and professionally. My greatest joy in life is knowing that I’ve been able to help the careers of so many.”
