For Screenwriters and Novelists
 in Santa Monica, California

 
 


James Bonnet’s Seven Day Storymaking Adventure
April 29 - May 5, 2012
 
Modeled on the popular and successful workshop retreats
in Nans Sous Sainte Anne, France
 
Whether you are a professional or novice screenwriter or novelist, this intensive state-of-the-art story workshop and private sessions with James Bonnet, the author of Stealing Fire from the Gods, will take you beyond Classical Story Structure and The Hero’s Journey to a more complete understanding of the fundamentals you need to create your own significant and successful novels, biographies and story films.
The first two days will be devoted to the story principles that James Bonnet has been teaching in Los Angeles since 1990. He will also introduce important new revelations concerning the ultimate source of unity, the structures of the whole story passage, the anti-hero’s journey, the high concept great idea, the creative unconscious self, the creative process, and the secrets of creating memorable and charismatic characters. This will be followed by a step-by-step journey from the fascination to the final draft, which will include relating all of the principles to your own project plus a thorough analysis of many of today’s most powerful and successful stories and films.
You will spend the next five days developing your own story or rewriting your screenplay or novel working each day one-on-one with James Bonnet.
On select evenings we will gather together again to watch an important film, which we'll then analyze and discuss over wine and dinner.
Since the seminar begins on Sunday morning at 10:00, all participants should plan on arriving in Los Angeles by the Saturday evening before the first class -- hopefully in time for a wine and cheese get-together where you will meet James Bonnet and the other participants.
Please note that a copy of the second edition Stealing Fire from the Gods will be sent to you upon registering for the class.
Fee: $1650.00
Space is limited, so don’t delay in signing up for this special opportunity.
