THEME

Forget what they taught you in school about “theme”! It’s not boring, nor is it a find-a-word-puzzle! (Cool use of “nor,” right?) It’s the ENGINE of your story, the BEATING HEART. So watch this video for tips on how to FIND your theme and how to get it INTO your script! = = = = = This channel is here to help you learn to write for screens - ANY kind of screens, from Hollywood tentpole to streaming series to DIY indie. I am no longer doing one-on-one script-consulting/coaching. But I’m still around! I’m on Substack: https://writingforscreens.substack.com. That’s where you can see what I’m sharing and working on now, and if you subscribe (it’s FREE!) you can ask questions in chats, share comments, and get into stuff with me and the community I hope to build there. Also: I’ve written a WRITING FOR SCREENS BOOK! You can buy it as a paperback or Kindle e-book on Amazon: PAPERBACK: https://www.amazon.com/Writing-Screens-Skills-Process-Screenwriting/dp/B0FXJ5MBWS/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2F5AGUZL3FA76&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.H_GOUtUBSBe8Z8-sxP9c2bDjeUIdNKNg2NMi9d1Pr2yvUq019ugEn7koxjbxOvDbF9xirTdv-E6v3P2kRLXAav6JATLSKPgIpG6GTtUgcJWDPI0mWrwCljPPmYVYmgNDUoF3b4g1t25op41tC_PXnw.Rsvb1MJszASDoqvpOxDhdlx59P5RqYaYxjHy8EXDT7w&dib_tag=se&keywords=Glenn+Gers&qid=1762199550&sprefix=glenn+ger%2Caps%2C203&sr=8-1 KINDLE: https://www.amazon.com/Writing-Screens-Skills-Process-Screenwriting-ebook/dp/B0FXHLKPN2/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.H_GOUtUBSBe8Z8-sxP9c2bDjeUIdNKNg2NMi9d1Pr2yvUq019ugEn7koxjbxOvDbF9xirTdv-E6v3P2kRLXAav6JATLSKPgIpG6GTtUgcJWDPI0mWrwCljPPmYVYmgNDUoF3b4g1t25op41tC_PXnw.Rsvb1MJszASDoqvpOxDhdlx59P5RqYaYxjHy8EXDT7w&qid=1762199550&sr=8-1 The paperback is also at Barnes & Noble online: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/writing-for-screens-glenn-gers/1148595966?ean=9798999787606 Or ask your local bookstore to order you a copy (through the distributor Ingram)!
