ABOUT THE WEBINAR

"Dude with a Problem." "Fool Triumphant." "Golden Fleece." Have you heard such terms bandied about by screenwriter friends, as they describe and develop their screenplays? If you have, it's because Blake Snyder's Save the Cat books are arguably the most popular and helpful screenwriting tools to emerge in the last decade -- and some of his fun phraseology has seeped into the consciousness of writers around the world.

And it's a good thing -- because along with his 15-point "Beat Sheet" structure paradigm, his ten "genres" (and fifty "subgenres") have brought a new language and approach to the study of what makes movie stories work -- and what successful scripts seem to have in common. He came up with an original set of story types that account for virtually every successful movie one could name. And he showed how, for instance, Forrest Gump, Legally Blonde and The 40-Year-Old Virgin are all really the same kind of movie: each centers on a seeming "fool" with positive values, who meets up with a more worldly "establishment," and after going through some sort of "transmutation," turns out to be wiser than everyone, and impacts this world in a positive way (i.e. the "Fool Triumphant").

In this webinar, multiple Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning screenwriter Erik Bork (HBO's BAND OF BROTHERS) will lay out how each of these genres work, with numerous movie examples -- and discuss the common pitfalls and challenges that come with each type of story. (See his updated chart of the genres and subgenres, to learn more.) He will explain how these genres have transformed his approach to writing and working with writers, and how they can be instrumental in developing movie ideas into potentially marketplace screenplays.

Spec scripts that sell -- and movies that studios make -- tend to fit squarely and pretty obviously within one of these ten narrative categories. And it's amazing how much wide variation there can be within each genre. (For instance, The Hangover, Up and Saving Private Ryan are all "Golden Fleeces".) What the "genres" really focus on is the type of story problem, conflict-laden situation, and relatable main character goal that is meant to drive audience emotional investment in the story (while also greatly entertaining them). By understanding these underlying templates for commercial screenwriting, writers can take some of the guess work out of the idea generation process -- and elevate their concepts and scripts to a new level.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

  • The keys to getting the audience invested in a particular story outcome
  • The elements of a workable logline, and how the ten genres can help
  • When it's okay for the audience's goal to differ from the main character's
  • Why a consistently problematic central dramatic situation is so important
  • Why Erin Brockovich is a "Superhero" (hint: it involves helping others)
  • The reason why some great movies seem to have more than one genre
  • Why producers are obsessed with "stakes" -- and why you should be, too
  • How magical and fantastical material works only in certain genres
  • What to do if you discover your idea doesn't fit any of the ten types
  • The role of "what's in the way?" as the central focus of any good script

WHO SHOULD LISTEN

  • Writers who feel they need work on "concept" and "structure"
  • Writers looking for a tool to use in measuring and developing their ideas
  • Writers having trouble figuring out which concept to write
  • Writers who like studying successful movies for comparison and learning
  • Writers facing a challenging rewrite and major story issues
  • Writers trying to find the best way to adapt a true story to the screen
  • Professional or aspiring writers living anywhere in the world
  • Writers looking for inspiration and guidance from someone they can relate to

Reliable Essential for Gentle, Everyday Care!
Scent: Baby Fresh, Size: 72 Count (Pack of 1), Scent: Baby Fresh, Size: 72 Count (Pack of 1)
Pampers Complete Clean Baby Fresh Scented Wipes have become a staple in our routine, and for good reason. From the very first use, it’s clear these wipes are designed with both effectiveness and gentleness in mind. They strike a thoughtful balance—strong enough to handle messes, yet soft enough for a baby’s delicate skin. What stands out most is their versatility. These wipes truly live up to the “head to toe” promise. Whether it’s a quick diaper change, wiping sticky hands after meals, or freshening up on the go, they handle it all without irritation. The texture is just right—not too thin, not overly thick—and they don’t tear easily during use. The light baby fresh scent adds a clean, comforting touch without being overpowering. It leaves your little one smelling refreshed rather than artificially perfumed, which is something many parents appreciate. Another highlight is how moist they stay. Even after opening and closing the pack multiple times, the wipes retain their hydration well, making each use consistent and reliable. There’s no need to use multiple wipes for a single cleanup, which makes them both practical and cost-effective. Overall, Pampers Complete Clean wipes deliver exactly what parents look for: dependable cleaning, gentle care, and a pleasant experience with every use. They’re a small but meaningful upgrade to everyday baby care.

Very happy with quality and strength
Scent: Baby Fresh, Size: 72 Count (Pack of 12)
Fantastic wipes. These are super thick and clean up baby great. These are the only thing that do not cause a rash on baby. Do not leave a sticky feeling after use. Smell is strong, not the best but not terrible. I can deal with it for the quality of the wipe.

Great for pets and pollen
Scent: Baby Fresh, Size: 72 Count (Pack of 1)
I use these to wipe down the pets when they come back inside. These are especially useful during pollen season. You can see the pollen and/or dirt on the wipes. This is much better than having it all over the house. I love that they are unscented; I do not have to worry ablut these causing any irritation. They are moist enough to do the job without leaving the prts wet or with any residue. And, baby wipes are just as effective and MUCH cheaper than buying wipes that are marketed specifically for pets. 5 stars
