How to Write a Hollywood Movie

Session Info:

Comedian Sammy J has written for the page, the stage and the screen – but no matter what he’s writing, it all comes down to structure.

In this entertaining session, Sammy J shares his tips on how to structure a story, using examples from his work.

By the end of the workshop, students will have created their own Three Act story, using the same structure that Hollywood writers have successfully used for the past century.

Sammy J is a Melbourne-based writer. His musical comedy albums have been nominated for three ARIA awards, and his ABC TV sitcom Sammy J & Randy in Ricketts Lane was nominated for Best Comedy at the 2015 AACTA awards.
