CONCEPT IS KING
A mini-course on how to generate and validate story concepts that get people excited before they ever even read your screenplay.
Ever wonder what makes something commercial?
In today's environment, a commercial screenplay means a clear concept.
I never worried much about concepts early in my career.
Much of my early work was hit-and-miss because of it. Some scripts would sell, and others wouldn't.
At some point, I realized my scripts with the best concepts were the ones that made me the money!
I might not have cared about concept, but the business sure did.
But what is concept? And why does the film business rely on it so much?
And how do you come up with one, let alone recognize a great one?
This mini-course offers a whole new insight into what is meant by commercial viability.
The course will cover:
- The rise of the high-concept movie.
- How to find your concept.
- How to validate it.
- How to “play” the concept in your story.
- How to communicate it to others.
While it works quite well as a standalone course, Concept is King is meant to be taken in conjunction with Perfecting The Logline. Get both as a bundle and save 25% HERE.

Your Instructor: Tom Vaughan
I started writing professionally twenty-five years ago. I've had eight movies made and two more in production this year. I am proud of all the ups and downs of my career, but if you really want to understand a subject, I recommend teaching it.
I have been teaching for 20 years now. It forced me to communicate the why behind so many of the decisions I made as a screenwriter. In doing so, these decisions became tools, accessible whenever I needed them.
As I became a better teacher, I became a better writer. As I became a better writer, I became a better teacher.
When I struggle with any of my own projects, these are the principles I fall back on.
Because of my teaching, I finally have what I lacked early in my career: a tangible and repeatable process to maximize the full potential of a story idea and tell the story I am trying to tell to the best of my abilities.
That's what these classes are about. And Go Coogs!
