Tired of Spinning Your Wheels on
Half-Formed Concepts?
You get a spark of an idea. A juicy "what if?" or an intriguing character.
But when you try to develop it… you hit a wall.
You get a decent setup, maybe even a clever twist — but something feels missing.
The middle is foggy. The stakes feel vague. The idea fizzles.
So you set it aside and hope the next one feels stronger.
But six months from now, will you still have a folder full of half-finished ideas?
Or could you finally be working on a screenplay that excites you and holds up to professional standards?

The 3-Step Method Inside
You don’t need a twist. You need a strong foundation.
In this replay, you’ll walk through a practical 3-part “idea vetting” process:
Is there a story here?
Clarify your story’s core with tools to discover new angles and sharpen its entertainment hook.
Will this story work?
Pressure-test your concept by mapping its essential pillars.
Is it worth writing?
Evaluate personal and professional fit before you commit your time to drafting.
This quick but powerful process is the step most writers skip — and it’s exactly what keeps great ideas from dying halfway through a script.
What’s included:
✅ Workshop replay video (approx. 60 minutes)
✅ Curated highlights from the live Q&A (video)
✅ Workshop slides (PDF)
✅ Personal Greenlight Checklist (PDF)

What Writers Are Saying
“Thank you again for putting this together, it was wonderful!!! I enjoyed it tremendously! And to be honest it gave me a boost of confidence (that was very needed at the moment lol). I had a lot of doubts on both of my stories and I feel like your workshop pointed me in the right direction. I’ve had a marvelous week because of that!! I can’t wait for the next one! Thank you again!”
— Ale D.
“Really found the presentation useful and it helped me brainstorm my idea. Plot points popped out of thin air and connections I didn't know existed weaved themselves together. ... And I ran the details through Sparky: I've got a winner. I mean, I knew that but seeing the extra confirmation adds to the excitement. Thank you again!!!!”

Common Questions
What if I don’t have a fully formed idea yet?
Perfect. This workshop helps you shape and strengthen early sparks. Whether it’s a “what if,” a character, or a true story — you’ll leave knowing whether it has story potential and how to grow it.
What if my idea already feels strong?
Even better. The process helps you pressure-test and refine your concept so you can write with more confidence and fewer stalls.
Is this too basic?
No. This is a professional-level concept development process writers at any level can use to create commercially sound, emotionally resonant stories.
Can a 60-minute replay really help me do all that?
Yes. You’ll see the full framework in under an hour — and you can revisit it anytime as you shape, test, and choose your next idea.
