What People Say:
Enhancing Storytelling with Emmanuel Oberg’s Screenwriting Framework

As a longtime fan of Emmanuel Oberg’s Screenwriting Unchained book, taking the online course was a game-changer for me. Diving deeper into tools like Story-Type and Genre, the Maslow Hierarchy of Needs, and the fractal nature of story structure made complex concepts practical and actionable. What stood out most was applying these tools directly to my current project. Concepts like managing conflict, crafting a satisfying ending, and the nuanced use of planting and payoff started to click in new ways, yielding immediate results.
The hands-on approach transformed my creative process, and I’m already seeing how these techniques elevate my storytelling. I can’t wait for the Hands-On Rewrite Workshop next week to refine it further.
I am genuinely inspired

Emmanuel possesses a remarkable ability to make complex concepts comprehensible and digestible. Beginning your first screenplay can be intimidating, and navigating the murkiness of a rewrite can often seem impossible. However, his process transforms these challenges into an approachable and even invigorating journey. After much procrastination, I am genuinely inspired and eager to dive in and bring my story to life.
Highly Recommend

This course was a huge eye opener for me. Emmanuel approaches the development process with a whole new perspective that allows writers to either re-write existing projects or take a whole new idea through the Story Type method and develop it to a screenplay. The use of Maslow to explain parts of the process as well as the “Fractal” aspect of storytelling were both immensely interesting and useful to me. Do yourself a favour, do the course, you won’t regret it!!
A screenwriting toolbox that makes sense.

An excellent communicator and educator – Emmanuel cuts through the theory with candour and simplicity. The course fuels a drive to get back to the keyboard with confidence, knowing his tangible tools will act as a guiding light.
Focused and Relevant, As Always

Advanced Development is the second course I have done with Emmanuel, and as with Writing a Successful TV Series, it was focused, sharp, and relevant.
Emmanuel structures his courses so there’s no time wasted, and if you’re serious about progressing your project and career, you’ll want to put the same commitment into it. You’ll come away with an understanding of industry expectations, the tools to apply high standards, and the confidence to meet the challenge.
I’m already looking forward to the next course.
A revolution of freedom

Emmanuel’s Story Type Method has been eye-opening, confidence-building, and truly inspirational. It has given me a toolbox packed to the brim with ideas and processes to assess and develop scripts in a bespoke manner for each script and scriptwriter. Often, when working on my own work or with other writers, I need to try multiple entry points before cracking the right way to start work on a project. This method cuts through so much of the trial and error by identifying specific types of stories, and how to best harness their unique qualities to bring out the writer’s voice, talent, and preferred way of working. I feel like I’ve only just begun with this work and can’t wait to continue learning and applying it. The course itself is delivered in a way that is very easy to understand, entertaining, and fun and I look forward to the next one.
The course was perfect for me.
The course was perfect for me. It made me really think about plot development and the character’s journey. I would highly recommend this course for anyone who wants to advance their script to be the best it can be. A huge thanks to Emmanuel for his wise and considered teaching. It was a pleasure.
A liberating revelation

I took the Screenwriting Unchained-course as a live course at the Swedish Film Institute a few years ago. It was a great (and intense 3-day) experience. Not to say a revelation. After the Hero’s Journey, Truby and McKee with 9, 12 or 20-whatever steps (not bad at all and very useful – but still) it was very liberating.
The TV Series-course takes the same thoughts and applies them on ideas and stories (and storylines) that are meant to last for a whole season (or in some cases several seasons). So far I haven’t come across a take on story structure that has been as helpful and useful as this one. (Ok, Aristotle, but that’s where we all start.)
Oberg has certainly shared some nifty moves

“True ease in writing comes from art, not chance,
As those move easiest who have learn’d to dance.”
It remains to be seen if I will be a good writer after this course, but Emmanuel Oberg has certainly shared some nifty moves (NB tools, not rules) that I am sure will offer, if not “true ease in writing” then certainly a better understanding of the craft.
Thank you.
Great self-learning experience
It was a great self-learning experience that was really flexible to get done because of the videos provided which allowed for watching in your own pace and time schedule. I enjoyed the course taught by Emmanuel Oberg a lot and feel that I can use the tools provided very well for current and future projects in series but definitely also feature films. Highly recommended as a course to learn about strategic approaches to creating and checking the stories you work on – also as a producer!
