For years, you’ve
heard writers rave about their experiences at Robert McKee’s legendary STORY Seminar.
You’ve seen him portrayed by the great
Brian Cox in the film ADAPTATION. You've watched his
students collect Oscars, Emmys, BAFTAs, and countless nominations.
But are you ready to write your own success
story?
If you’ve been
curious about the seminar, wondering if it lives up to the hype, this
is your final opportunity to find out.
If, like many McKee
alumni, you’ve been wishing you could revisit the seminar to revive
your creativity, this is your last chance.

waiting for the right time to register, that time is now.
Whether you’ve been
putting it off until you’ve produced a polished first draft or have yet
to put pen to paper, this is the moment to learn from "Hollywood’s
most sought-after screenwriting instructor" (VANITY FAIR). Join

A Few Words From McKee Alumni
|
|
|
|
|
"For years I've heard about this seminar
and thought the accounts about it were exaggerated. I can reassure you
they are not. Robert is both hypnotic and mesmerising. I couldn't
believe at the end of 3 days many of us were crying. I wish it were longer!
So happy I attended. An experience I will savor for the rest of my
life. "

"Just wanted to say how much I loved this
past weekend. Thank you and all who made it possible for all of us. I
had attended 20 years ago, but really was able to absorb so much this
past weekend knowing a bit of what I was in for."

"McKee's book and seminars changed the
trajectory of my professional career, from a novelist on her ninth book
that wasn't going anywhere, to a published novelist with a Miramax
movie deal."

Defeating Action’s Greatest Villain
|
|
|
|
|
Our love of Action begins
when play becomes adventure. As we go from crawling on all fours to
tottering on two to running from room to room, our imaginations
transform climbing a flight of stairs into an assault on a fortress.
The living room rug becomes a battleground and toys become heroes and
villains.
Our imaginations rescue
the blameless and punish the bad guys.
As we age, our love for
Action matures, demanding greater and greater innovation as we explore
the eternal struggle between Good and Evil.
Action, because of its
popularity, has become one of the most demanding storytelling genres.
In the last century alone, tens, perhaps hundreds of thousands of
iterations have played out across page, screen and game. Originality is
the Action writer’s greatest challenge.
The cliché is the Action
writer’s greatest villain.
How can you invent an
Action sequence fans haven’t seen or read ad infinitum in the
past? What will you do to create not just a good Action story but a
great one?
How will you win the
ancient war on clichés?
Sharpen your Action
story, and banish clichés for good with Robert McKee’s new book.

McKee's New Book Released Today
|
|
|
|
|
Available
Now in U.S. & Canada
Robert McKee, the master
of Story, Dialogue and Character, is back with his brand-new book ACTION: The Art of
Excitement for Screen, Page and Game.
Co-written with former
co-host of The Story Toolkit, Bassim El-Wakil, ACTION deconstructs
the genre, illuminates its challenges, and demonstrates how to master
its demands with ingenious turns.
|
|
|
|
|
"ACTION inspires action. McKee
and El-Wakil have created the guide I’ve been looking for all my years
as a professional screenwriter. ACTION helps you understand how and why
the thing works—how its heart beats, how it thinks, and, most
important, what makes it move. For a professional action writer, it
almost feels like cheating."

How Complex Villains May Risk Excitement
|
|
|
|
|
In this clip from
the Follow-Up Q&A Session for McKee’s “The Foundation of Action”
webinar, Robert explains how sympathy for a villain risks audience
excitement, and why writers must be careful when introducing detailed
backstories for their antagonists.
