How to Write a One to Two Page Synopsis for Your Feature Film

From film festivals to studio executives a writer is often expected to provide a synopsis of their screenplay. It’s the first document that they will see, read, and use to decide if they want to evan read the full script and take your project further. A great synopsis can be the difference between success and failure in setting up your script and getting your dream project made.

Every story has challenges and unique nuances and it’s up to you to decide how much or how little to put into your synopsis. But what do you keep in, what do you leave out and how do you know if you’ve nailed your synopsis? In this webinar we’ll discuss the best practices for creating a synopsis that grabs your reader’s attention.
