A Template For Success

I like to break down the winning template for screenplay success. This will save you a lot of time. 

Instead of spending hours thinking about what will happen in your screenplay, simply use the following form (fill in the blanks as appropriate)

A ________ living in ________ has a problem. S/he has many winning qualities but lacks the ability to ________.

Along comes _________ who/which (circle one) challenges her to change.

The _______ decides to ________.

Several obstacles however present themselves, most notably ______, ______ and ______.

In order to get around the obstacles, our ________ tries to _______ but the _______ _______ before s/he can _______.

At the same time _________________, but _________ has to __________ until _________, _________ or ________.

However, __________ with the clock ticking, _________, _________, ________.

Finally _________, and in a big ending _________ and ___________.
