New Documentary Storytelling Seminar

I hope your holidays were restorative. I want to help you ground whatever New Year’s resolutions you’ve made about your documentary by offering a new storytelling seminar.

Beginning January 26th, Structuring the Three Act Documentary will give you the theoretical grounding that helped several of my clients last year win awards, including two Emmy nominations.

You will want to take this three-week virtual seminar if you are currently shooting a character-driven documentary. You will learn how to creatively direct scenes, such as an inciting incident or third-act climax, that will shape a powerful narrative arc.

You’ll also want to take this seminar if you are in post-production. If you are logging footage, Structuring the Three Act Documentary will speed up the process by identifying what to look for: pivotal scenes and important statements, such as the Protagonist’s Statement of Desire.

If you are in the creative thralls of editing, this three-week seminar will show you how to organize your footage into an impactful story. For example, the three-act timetable will show you the ideal placement of each act’s climax.

And, getting your film’s structure right will help attract funding, as our client Valarie Jernigan attests:

“Karen’s insight and guidance refined our film into a more compelling character-driven story, which helped us receive a $50,000 grant from the California Council of Humanities!”

— Valarie Blue Bird Jernigan, Producer/Director, Forty Winters

I am committed to providing you with ideas and storytelling templates that will make your film’s subject matter come alive. Save $100 by registering early at:
