feels like a movie

{the art of writing & selling screenplays}

Learn how to write standout screenplays that SELL!

In this course, you’ll learn how to write scripts that are compelling, emotionally resonant, structurally sound, marketable, film-able, & - most important - you’ll learn how to write films that feel like the best version of YOUR VISION.

It’s one thing to be a great writer and to love movies - but it’s another thing all together to be able to juggle characters, dialogue, themes, structure, genre, & the needs of the producers & filmmakers who will ultimately take your script & turn it into a movie.

Screenwriting is both an art & a science. It takes a lot of skills & techniques to really make a screenplay stand out above the rest in the stack.

This is how you write a script that “feels like a movie.”

Screenwriters are in the business of “and”

What does that mean?

This course is about writing but it’s also about “delivering the goods” on audience & producer expectations.

I believe in being an artist first.

But I also know as a filmmaker myself that our art form is EXPENSIVE.

We have to balance the film business AND emotionally powerful storytelling.

I’ll teach you how to do just that. So you get your vision across while also positioning yourself well in the market.

I’m Rebecca Weaver

I’m a screenwriter & an indie filmmaker. I’ve sold several scripts (which were produced), I’ve optioned others, & I’ve been a consultant/advisor for fellow filmmakers for years. I’ve also done script coverage for a decade now.

I wrote & directed a feature film called June Falling Down (“A real achievement!” -Leonard Maltin) as well as several short films, including Hunters, a dark comedic thriller. I’ve also worked as a creativity coach & I teach self-empowerment for artists.

It took me YEARS to compile the material I’ve gathered together in Feels Like a Movie. Allow this course to be a SHORTCUT for you. Use it - go write a standout screenplay & write your own success story.

A course for all levels

Whether you’re a beginner or if you’ve been writing a while but haven’t made a sale yet, this is for you. I break down every aspect of screenwriting with clear examples so you know exactly what you need to do next in your own script.
How it works

This course includes 8 modules with HOURS of video lessons as well in-depth assignments that you can use specifically to strengthen your script & make it shine. These are lessons it took me YEARS to learn - & you’ll hear them all in this course.
