WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT?

This is Not Just Another Screenwriting Formula

Most screenwriting advice teaches the craft in pieces:

structure, character, theme, scenes, dialogue, and rewriting as separate skills.

But a screenplay has to work as a whole.

Breakthrough Script™ gives you an integrated system

where every part of the story connects.

Everything

Connects

Character, theme, structure, scenes, dialogue, world, drafting, and rewrite are not treated as separate pieces. You build them from the same story engine, so the screenplay feels unified instead of forced together.

Structure From Character

Instead of squeezing your story into a formula, you build the plot from the protagonist’s wound, false belief, goal, pressure, and transformation, so the structure grows organically from who the character is.

Belief Cycle™ Tracks Change

The Belief Cycle shows how your protagonist’s false belief is challenged, tested, cracked, and either transformed or refused across the story, giving you a clear map for emotional and structural movement.

Six-Layer Beat Sheet Gives Direct Path to Draft

You don't just list what happens. You build each beat through theme, subplot, wound, false belief, scene mapping, rhythm, and world, so every scene, every moment has a reason to exist.

Rewrite Built-In

The course doesn't stop when you type FADE OUT. You move through a 20-pass rewrite process that helps you revise from big-picture structure down to dialogue, visuals, and polish.

By The End of the Course

By the end of the 30-day course, whether you complete it in 30 days as a focused writer or move through it at your own pace with lifetime access, the goal is the same:

A professionally formatted, structurally sound, revised and elevated screenplay draft you are proud to send out.
The kind of draft that could get you noticed. The kind of draft you can send to contests, fellowships, representation, executives, producers, or trusted industry readers with confidence.
Breakthrough Script™ is designed to help you build a solid, professionally crafted draft that will help you get to the next level on your screenwriting path.

Breakthrough Script™

Our Curriculum Includes...

The Belief Cycle System™

You'll know exactly how to create a plot and structure that organically comes from your character, not added on to it.

The Belief Cycle System™ is present in all stories, from Little Miss Sunshine to The Dark Knight to Everything Everywhere All at Once. When your protagonist's internal logic drives the external story, everything clicks into place. We give you a framework you can apply to every screenplay you write.

A Proven Path To FADE OUT

Never again feel lost in your script and wondering what you should to do next. Every step of the process is laid out for you, from your first idea through your final revision.

Breakthrough Script™ is a 30-day course with 200+ video lessons (20+ hours) that walk you through the complete screenwriting process: concept, character development, scene construction, structure, and a 20-pass revision system that helps you refine your first draft into something you’re proud of and ready to send out.

A Writing Community

Writers need writers. The Herd is there to give feedback and encouragement, as well as providing direct access to Keren and our other instructors when you have questions.

There’s something about knowing other people are at their desks at the same time you are, working through the same process. And when you watch how another writer solves the same structural problem differently than you might have, it expands what you think is possible.

Bonus Content

What happens after FADE OUT?

Writing a great screenplay is one thing. Getting it into the world is another. Beyond the Script is a complete post-draft resource covering everything you need to put your work in front of the right people, including: loglines, synopses, one-pagers, and query letters that get read.

Module 2 takes you even further with: how to pitch verbally in a room, how the industry landscape works, what to do with contests and fellowships, how to find representation, and what it looks like to build a career writing screenplays.

Optional: AI Writing Partner

You do not need use AI at all to take Breakthrough Script.

The entire course is designed to get you to a solid draft without ever touching AI.

BUT... for the AI-curious writers who want to use AI productively and responsibly, the course includes an optional AI Writing Partner.

It is trained specifically on the Breakthrough Script™ methodology and will not write for you. Its job is to help you think deeper, ask better questions, pressure-test your concept, characters, world, structure, and scenes, and notice what may or may not be working while you are in the process.

The writer still leads. Always.

Meet Your Instructor

My name is Keren Green, and I’ve been on every side of this journey.

I’ve worked with writers who have never written a screenplay before, who don’t know the format, the structure, or where to begin, and writers who have written one or more scripts, and are absolutely convinced they already know how story works, even when the feedback says otherwise.

And I’ve sat in both of those seats, myself, as well.

I loved movies. I had strong instincts. But I didn’t have craft. And in those early days of screenwriting my ego told me, over and over, that the critics were wrong, that I knew better. (Spoiler: I didn’t.) I became defensive when I received negative feedback, telling myself...

They don’t get it.

They’re missing what I’m trying to do.

That belief cost me years. Years that I couldn’t get back.

Falling in love with your writing is dangerous to your stories and career when you don’t understand the craft.

Screenwriting is absolutely a craft. Applying it is what allows others to fall in love with your story and at the end of the day, that matters way more.

Watching movies and learning from what came before is important, but it isn’t osmosis. Seeing hundreds of films doesn’t teach you how to build one.

For me, everything changed when I finally let go of my ego and committed to actually learning how story functions. How character drives plot. How pressure forces choice. How structure isn’t a formula you impose, but a framework that reveals what the story demands next.

I went back to school, earned multiple degrees in creative writing for entertainment, ended up working for top producers; including Oscar-winning teams who pushed my work hard because I was finally meeting the professional bar, and I managed to earn my way into the WGA West.

Everything finally clicked, my understanding of story shifted. And so did the response to my work.

I used to prep for meetings with a pep talk, telling myself it was okay if they hated it, okay if they tore it apart...

But then suddenly it all changed. They didn’t hate my work. My scripts weren’t torn apart. Instead they used words like, ”I love this.”

Doors opened. I was asked to pitch top companies. I found myself in rooms I’d spent years imagining, with companies like Amazon, hearing responses like “We love this script,” “The door is always open,” and “We’d like you to develop this for us.” Opportunities followed; not because I’d finally “arrived,” but because my scripts were finally doing what they needed to.

But that wasn’t the end of my discovery journey when it came to understanding story craft. There was a lot more to learn...

Through more than twenty years of teaching, mentoring, and workshopping hundreds of scripts (and acting as a gatekeeper myself, with the responsibility of deciding what projects should move forward and what ones shouldn’t) I started seeing new patterns clearly.

Beginners weren’t failing because they lacked imagination and experienced writers weren’t failing because they lacked talent.

They were just stuck because no one had shown them a clear, character-driven process that could carry them from idea to finished screenplay. As I dug into existing methods, taught them, tested them with students, and watched where writers consistently broke down, I began synthesizing what actually worked. Over time, a system emerged; one that could carry any writer, at any stage, all the way through the process and toward the kind of feedback they were hoping for.

That’s what Breakthrough Script™ is built on.

This course is for:

1. Beginners who feel like they have stories to tell but don’t know where to start

2. More experienced writers who can reach Fade Out but then can’t understand why their scripts aren’t landing

3. Writers who are ready, finally, to stop guessing and start building stories that work

You don’t need to be touched by the muse or to have read all the books and watched all the YouTube videos.

And you certainly shouldn't have to write ten bad scripts before you write a good one.

You just need a process that works. A clear map that you can follow that provides the way forward and that gets you to a completed, polished draft. Every time.

If you’re willing to show up, stay open, and do the work, I know how to guide you through writing a screenplay you’re proud of because I’ve not only walked this path myself, I’ve walked many others through it as well.

You’ve got this.

Let’s write your script.

Content Covered

PHASE 1: DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATIONS
Phase 1 builds the foundation of your screenplay and your writing muscle.
For newer writers, this phase teaches how screenplay formatting works, why the rules exist, how to write scenes, action lines, dialogue, and subtext, and how to start getting the story onto the page.
For more experienced writers, this phase helps identify habits that may be hurting the read: overwritten action, generic character behavior, on-the-nose dialogue, scenes that do not turn, or pages that are technically formatted but not yet working at a professional level.
You’ll also build the story’s internal engine: idea, logline, brain dump, wound, false belief, thematic truth, Four Traits, antagonist, supporting cast, and world.
Day 1: Why story matters; how screenplays are different from other forms of writing; screenplay format and what goes on the page; where ideas come from and how to elevate them
Day 2: The Brain Dump: exhaust every thought you have about your story before you start shaping it; loglines and the C.D.O.G. formula; the RISE feedback method and your Herd community; marketability
Day 3: Character as transformation: the function of story; The Wound and False Belief System; Thematic Truth; The Four Traits
Day 4: Action lines: what they actually do; the craft and rules; Show Don't Tell in practice; writing action lines for your specific character; going deeper on your protagonist
Day 5: Dialogue: what it does and how it works; the technicals; subtext and conflict; building distinct character voice; your character's goal, what they consciously want
Day 6: You’ll build your antagonist and supporting cast through the Thematic Spectrum, so every major character pressures, reflects, challenges, or distorts the protagonist’s false belief.
Day 7: World: every story has one; locations that build your story; the rules of your world; expressing theme through environment
PHASE 2: STRUCTURE
Phase 2 turns the foundation into structure.
Through the Belief Cycle System™, you’ll map how your protagonist’s false belief is pressured, challenged, cracked, and either transformed or refused across the story.
This is not three-act structure with new labels. It is a transformation map that helps you build structure from character instead of forcing plot points onto the story.
By the end of Phase 2, you’ll have a Six-Layer Beat Sheet that integrates theme, subplot, wound and false belief in action, essence and expression, scene mapping, rhythm, causality, and world-building.
Day 8: Character arc and the journey of change; Need vs. Goal; pressure and how change actually happens; structure serves character; introduction to the Belief Cycle
Day 9: The Belief Cycle™ in depth; Section 1: Ordinary World with False Belief; Section 2: Challenge to Belief. applying and tracking both sections across story examples
Day 10: Section 3: Testing Belief in a New Context; Section 4: The Midpoint; Belief System Shows Cracks. applying and mapping both sections
Day 11: Section 5: Eyes Beginning to Open; Section 6: Crisis -- the Belief System Fails Completely; anatomy of a crisis. applying and mapping both sections
Day 12: Section 7: Action Without Agenda; Section 8: New Belief in Action (or Refusal). Completing the full Belief Cycle map for your story
Day 13: What a beat is; beat sheet fundamentals; But/Therefore causality; translating the Belief Cycle into your first-pass beat sheet
Day 14: Subplots: what they are, how to weave them in, supporting characters as subplot engines
Day 15: Applying all Six-Layers to the beat sheet: layering sequence, scene maps, rhythm, visual details, and supporting characters into a complete structural blueprint
PHASE 3: THE VOMIT DRAFT
Phase 3 is where you write, and write fast.
But you are not writing blind. By this point, you have been building the writing muscle throughout the course, and you have a solid roadmap to guide you.
You’ll also get troubleshooting videos for each section of the draft, so when the writing gets messy, you have tools to keep moving.
The goal of this phase is momentum. You cannot revise a script you have not written, so Phase 3 gets the draft onto the page.
Day 16: Writing Section 1: Ordinary World with False Belief. Troubleshooting: the Placeholder Method, on-the-nose dialogue, exposition through action, when your beat sheet changes mid-draft
Day 17: Writing Section 2: Challenge to Belief. Troubleshooting: pacing your scenes, scene transitions, staying creative within structure
Day 18: Writing Section 3: Testing Belief in a New Context. Troubleshooting: tracking multiple characters, subtext layers, action line clarity, the writing vs. editing distinction
Day 19: Writing Section 4: The Midpoint; Belief System Shows Cracks. Troubleshooting: writing the midpoint, placeholder discipline, managing subplots, tracking belief state
Day 20: Writing Section 5: Eyes Beginning to Open. Troubleshooting: writing vulnerability, updating your beat sheet mid-draft, exposition overload, the temptation to revise, when the story feels broken
Day 21: Writing Section 6: Crisis - The Belief System Fails Completely. Troubleshooting: writing the crisis, supporting cast in the darkest moment, pacing emotional sections. Halfway celebration.
Day 22: Writing Section 7: Action Without Agenda. Troubleshooting: writing the transformation, climax vs. resolution, thematic payoff, the final push
Day 23: Writing Section 8: New Belief in Action. First Draft complete celebration. What to do with your placeholders. Draft exchange with Herd members. RISE feedback at draft one. Week 3 close and Week 4 preview.
PHASE 4: THE 20-PASS REVISION SYSTEM
Phase 4 teaches you how to revise with purpose.
You’ll move from macro to micro: structure, character, theme, scene work, dialogue, visual storytelling, and polish.
Instead of opening your draft and vaguely trying to “make it better,” you’ll know what each pass is designed to fix.
The result is a professionally formatted, structurally sound, revised and elevated screenplay draft you are proud to send out.
