Immersion Script is a self-paced screenwriting bootcamp. Around 30 minutes a day, 28 days of guided work, and 12 months of access so you can go at your own pace.

Most screenwriting training teaches you to edit and analyse your pages. 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.

How it works

Every day pairs two habits. Discovery: you read a few pages from a produced screenplay, close and current. Forgery: you copy a page from a great writer into your own script software, so the rhythm, the format and the style get into your hands. Across the month you read a BlackList feature and a popular pilot, work out what makes them hold, and write a synopsis for each.

What you will walk away with

A feature synopsis and a pilot synopsis, drafted and revised.
A script report in your own words.
A writing manifesto you set for yourself.
The muscle memory to write in format without thinking about it.
A sharper eye for what makes a scene work, and what makes it drag.

What writers say

After a break from writing, this was the perfect course to recondition my screenwriting muscles. My approach to writing, reading, and watching has vastly improved in a very short time. And the course was a lot of fun.

Alisa R, screenwriter

I would not have realised I was rushing through scenes and being a lazy writer had it not been for Immersion Script. I am so grateful to Karel for offering this course. I would highly recommend it to all writers who want to elevate their craft to a professional level.

Ted W, screenwriter

Immersion Script opened my eyes to new ways of writing and made me flex my writing muscles with rigour and practice. I found better ways to put images and dialogue to the page.

Stuart S, screenwriter

Immersion Script is such a great course and workshop. I highly recommend it to anyone serious about a career as a screenwriter. Karel is a story-analysing genius. He will have you seeing shows you did not even like in a whole new way, explaining every scene down to the tiniest detail. No matter how much time you have in the industry, you will learn something and grow.
