Adventures in: Screenwriting
A Multimodal Screenwriting Masterclass with Dustin Lee
I help writers go from a story trapped in their imagination to a polished, pitch-ready screenplay — so that they can step into the creative life they were always meant to live.
There’s a screenplay percolating inside you but it’s not quite working out the way you initially envisioned.
Maybe it’s been bothering you for years — a character who begs for further development, a world you can’t stop building in your mind, yet a story so personal and powerful it has to be told. Maybe you’ve stopped and started and the pages are sitting in a folder somewhere, waiting for the right moment or spark of inspiration to hit.
That moment is now.
I’m opening the doors to Adventures in Screenwriting: An 8-Step, Multimodal Screenwriting Masterclass — an immersive, deeply personal, professionally guided journey from the spark of your idea all the way to a polished, pitch-ready script. Whether you’ve never written a single scene in your life or you’ve been honing your craft for years, this course was built for you.
🌟 What Is Adventures in Screenwriting?
This isn’t a passive online course where you watch pre-recorded lectures alone at 11pm and wonder if anyone’s actually reading your submissions.
This is a live, collective experience — a writer’s room, a creative incubator, and a personal coaching program all rolled into one transformative eight-step journey.
Here’s how it works:
6 Live Group Sessions on Google Meet
Every Saturday and Sunday at 2:00 PM Eastern, starting July 12th, we meet as a cohort for one hour of focused, high-energy instruction, discussion, and creative exploration. These aren’t lectures — they’re conversations between storytellers. I’ll be there with you, live, answering your questions, breaking down the craft, and helping you see your story in an entirely new light.
1 Private Analysis & Feedback Breakdown From Dustin
Before the course concludes, every student gets their own private story feedback analysis from me — digging into your feature film or episodic television outline in detail. I’ll examine your structure, sharpen your concept, and point out opportunities where you can elevate your story and characters, setting you up for success before you fret over another word of your script.
1 Private “Write with Dustin” Session
This is where the magic truly happens. In a final, intimate one-on-one session, I will personally read, give feedback on, and help polish the first ten pages of your script right alongside you, remotely. Here, you’ll get direct, live feedback, targeted edits, and personalized storytelling insight as we refine actual script pages together, sharpening every detail of your characters, dialogue, and structure. Your opening pages are your calling card — they’re what producers, agents, and executives use to decide if they want to read more. We’re going to make sure those pages are unforgettable!

🔥 What You’ll Walk Away With
By the time you close out your final session, you won’t just know how to write a screenplay the right way. You’ll have one in progress — with a battle-tested structure, compelling characters, and professionally reviewed pages. Here’s the full picture of what you gain:
A complete command of screenwriting fundamentals — from format and structure to genre conventions and visual storytelling, you’ll understand the craft at a professional level
A concept you believe in and a premise that can sell — we start from the very beginning, helping you develop or refine an idea worthy of the screen
A feature film or TV series outline, personally reviewed by me
Polished, professional first ten pages of your actual script — refined with my direct feedback in your Write with Dustin session
A roadmap for pitching and marketing your work — because a great script that no one reads is a tragedy we are not going to let happen to you
A creative community — your cohort of fellow writers is one of the most underrated gifts this experience offers. These are your future collaborators, your first readers, your creative tribe
🎯 Is This Course for You?
Yes. Full stop.
This course was engineered to meet you exactly where you are.
If you’re a first-time writer: You’ll get everything you need to understand the craft from the ground up — no jargon, no gatekeeping, no intimidating assumptions that you already know the rules. I’ll teach you everything. We start at the beginning and we build something real.
If you’re an experienced writer: You’ll find this course stretches you in ways that reignite your passion for the craft. We go deep — into the psychology of character, the architecture of story, the business of pitching — and I’ll bring my full expertise to bear in our one-on-one sessions to push your project to its absolute highest potential.
If you’ve started a script and gotten stuck: This might be the most powerful reason to join. We’ll find out exactly where the story broke down and rebuild it stronger than ever.
No matter where you’re starting from, you belong in this room.
💬 Why Learn Screenwriting from Me?
I’m Dustin Lee — screenwriter, creative director, ex-Imagineer, and the voice behind Story Charmed Life and Adventures in Storytelling. I’ve spent years at the intersection of storytelling, entertainment, and personal transformation — helping writers, creators, and entrepreneurs find and articulate the stories that define their lives and careers.
I don’t just teach theory. I bring the full weight of real-world script development, creative coaching, and storytelling strategy to every session. My approach blends the technical precision of professional screenwriting with the heart-centered philosophy of genuine creative growth.
When I sit down with your script, I’m not just making observations. I’m investing in your vision.
💳 Investment & Enrollment
This multimodal Masterclass is $1,499
Because I believe every serious writer deserves access to professional mentorship, this investment is available with an installment plan — so the only thing standing between you and your screenplay is your decision to begin.
Spots in this cohort are intentionally limited to protect the intimacy and quality of your experience. Every student gets direct access to me — not a teaching assistant, not a grader, not a pre-recorded video. Me. That means seats are precious and they will fill up.
✨ Your Story Is Waiting
Here’s what I know to be true after years of working with writers at every level: the stories that change the world are not written by the most talented people. They’re written by the people who refused to give up on the story inside them.
You have a story. Let’s give it the pages it deserves.
Next cohort begins Saturday, July 11th at 2:00 PM Eastern. Limited seats available.
