Immersion series
Immersion Film
Immersion Film is a 28-day, film-only screenwriting bootcamp built around Forgery, Discovery and Mastery.
- Each day
- 30 minutes
- Core practice, plus reading on some days
Most screenwriting training teaches you to edit. This trains you to write.
Analysis is useful, but it skips the part that matters most: learning what a great script feels like on the page, and building the muscle memory to write that way yourself. That is what we train here — a self-paced bootcamp, about thirty minutes of core practice a day with longer reading on some days, and twelve months of access so you can go at your own pace.
Discovery
You read a few pages
From a produced screenplay, close and current. You work out what makes it hold, scene by scene, and note the decisions as you go.
Forgery
You copy a page by hand
Into your own script software, every space and capital. The rhythm, the format and the style get into your hands rather than your notes.
After you enrol
-
Day 1 opens straight away. Nothing is drip-fed.
-
You work about thirty minutes a day, at whatever hour suits you, with a longer reading block on some days.
-
At the midpoint you send a synopsis and a script report. Karel reads both and writes back.
-
Finish the course and the report, and the certificate unlocks.

Before you start
You need a screenwriting app you are comfortable in, and about thirty minutes a day you can actually protect. The work is small and daily — that is the whole method.
