Dear Friends and Fellow Screenwriters,
 I work with Academy Award® winners and absolute beginners. Many of my students and professional consulting clients complained that they just couldn’t break through a block to their creativity. Their projects were stalled because they found themselves drawing a blank when faced with thorny plot or character problems. Their script didn’t work and, although they tried everything, they just couldn’t figure out why!
 I developed these innovative techniques over years of teaching screenwriting at UCLA and consulting on film projects all over the world. My unique screenwriting process is designed to free writers from the obstacles that inhibit their writing flow. I hate to see so many students and professionals frustrated with their writing process, so I put my tools and techniques into an easy-to-use eBook available for download RIGHT NOW.
HERE IS WHAT YOU WILL GET
You will get the complete 200+ page The One Hour Screenwriter, an eBook that takes you step by step through the whole process of writing your screenplay—from idea to finished first draft in just one hour a day.

WHY IS THIS BOOK DIFFERENT OR UNIQUE?
Research shows that the most productive writers experience intense creativity in short bursts. The One Hour Screenwriter explains how to write your screenplay in one-hour
blocks of sustained effort. These short creative sessions add up over time.
 Whether you’ve got a full-time job or have other important personal demands on your time, I’m sure you can find one extra hour in your
day to work on your passion project. The One Hour Screenwriter
shows you exactly how to do it and how to make the best use of the time you do have.
Lots of screenwriting books provide basic writing theory or helpful
overviews of film structure or story development. This book specifically
guides you step-by-step, from your original idea to the finished first draft of
your script, in just one hour a day.
The One Hour Screenwriter will show you exactly what to do in clear, straightforward weekly assignments. These assignments break the screenwriting process down into simple steps that can be accomplished in one hour a day. You will be purposefully guided and clearly prompted on what to do next for each and every step. Why wait a minute longer to get started?
Richard Walter, Screenwriting Co-Chair, UCLA School of Theater, FIlm, Television and DIgital Media has this to say:
"Laurie Hutzler's bright fresh book is appropriate not only for writers who are new to the game but for
experienced professionals as well. Her engaging,
provocative, no-nonsense approach embraces hands on
advice at the same time it posits profound insights into the essential nature of dramatic narrative. Here is a must
read for all screenwriters."
Hal Ackerman, Screenwriting Co-Chair, UCLA School of Theater, Film, Television and Digital Media has this to say:
“Laurie Hutzler's book crackles with the passion and innovative techniques that have been such a gift to
her students at UCLA and around the world.”
WHAT DO WRITERS AND PRODUCERS HAVE TO SAY?
 Paul Haggis, Oscar® Winning writer of Million Dollar Baby, Crash, In the Valley of Elah, The Black Donnellys
and Quantum of Solace:
“Laurie Hutzler has a method of exploring and developing characters that I personally found
very useful. Her gentle process of posing insightful questions should help any writer create deeper, richer and more vivid characters.”
 Bobby Moresco, Oscar® Winning co-writer of Crash, 10th and Wolf and The Black Donnellys:
“Laurie Hutzler has a terrific sense of story. She has a gift for inspiring and
motivating writers to do their best work. Laurie’s approach will help any writer dig deeper and find the heart of their story. Heart is what great storytelling is all about."
 Peter Fudakowski, Producer of Tsosti, Oscar®
Winning Best Foreign Language Film:
"Laurie has taught me more than anyone about the central importance of character in any screenplay. Her method of character
analysis provides an invaluable tool for the writer who
needs a non-destructive way to self-critique his or her
screenplay. At the heart of every Academy Award® Winning Best Film, is a screenplay that is the Best.
Laurie's methods help writers create their Best."
WHAT’S IN THE eBOOK?
If you’re excited about your screenplay idea and want to finish a professional first draft, The
One Hour Screenwriter
is where you begin. If you’re an established writer trying to find the time to write your passion project this book will help inspire and empower you from beginning to
end.
This is the screenwriting process I use in the UCLA Film School graduate screenwriting classes I teach. This book contains the tools and techniques that get rave reviews from writers,
directors and producers from all over the world (from Brazil to India and from Greece to the United Kingdom).
WHAT MAKES THESE TECHNIQUES SPECIAL?
 Michael Colleary, Co-Producer and Co-Writer of Box-Office Hit Face/Off, Co-Writer of Laura Croft Tomb Raider, and Producer and Co-Writer of Firehouse Dog has this to say:
"By clearly demonstrating how to write a screenplay in a single hour a day, Laurie Hutzler has demolished the last great excuse not to write...Keep her book within easy reach and refer to it often, because it is an instruction manual for screenwriting success. I loved it. Great book."
 James V. Hart, writer of Hook, Dracula, Contact, Tuck Everlasting, Sahara and August Rush:
“....the absolutely essential reason for any writer to use Laurie's techniques is because they work. You can actually capture your creative lightning in a bottle, set it on a shelf, and uncork whenever you need it—first draft to the umpteenth revision. I kid you not!"
 Dev Benegal, award-wining filmmaker in India, has this say:
“Laurie Hutzler, professor of screenwriting at UCLA and a world-renowned screenplay consultant, was one of our advisers at the
eQuinoxe tbc Screenwriting Workshop in Paris. All my fellow participants were raving about her sessions. Laurie wasn’t one
of my assigned advisers and hearing what the others had to say I
told her I was feeling ‘left out!’”
“I did get to meet her a few days later in London. We had a wonderful coffee and a relaxed chat in Soho, where we spoke
about the ways of writing screenplays and the narrative traditions
of Indian cinema. Just before we were leaving she asked me if I
had time and would I like to do a small bit of her session in eQuinoxe. I jumped at it and what followed was amazing.”
“Laurie has a way of looking at your character by exploring the writer’s self. All I can say was, it worked for me. My first question after we finished was if she was writing a book. I’m happy to let you know that she is. I’ve booked my advance copy! For me it was truly emotional!”
WHY DO YOU NEED THIS BOOK?
These are screenwriting techniques you’ve never seen before! No other book takes you day-by-day and step-by-step through writing your screenplay. No other book finds so many ways to connect your personal emotional journey with the story you are telling.
This process will change the way you approach your writing from now on. These techniques work equally well for dramas and comedies and for every movie genre you can name, because the process starts with finding and freeing your own unique voice.
Some established writers might wonder if this screenwriting process is too simple to be useful to a professional. But starting at the beginning is exactly what jump-starts the creative process.
First you will zero-in on the protagonist. My unique and surprising definition of this character contains an essential key that solves a myriad of plotting problems. This important insight alone may help turn your screenplay around and make it work more effectively.
You will also learn a powerful two-minute exercise. In just 120 seconds you will discover what makes a film truly memorable. It’s something that you know already and which is an important trigger in all the films that you love best. You aren’t consciously aware of it. But it is right there in plain sight and your own experience proves it. Discovering this secret is a totally an eye-opening experience. It’s something you can use RIGHT NOW in your own screenplay.

that is authentic and real. You’ll learn how to stick with
your project and overcome the creative blocks stopping
you. Unlock the powerful voice you already posses and discover a nonstop route to completing your screenplay

screenplay unfold successfully!
Don't let anything stop you.
Here's how The One Hour Screenwriter

“The greatest fear for any writer is the blank page, whether you are starting to write for the first time or even if you have had a considerable amount of success. Laurie’s book takes away that fear of failure by offering bite sized exercises which will allow you to realize the dream of writing a full length screenplay, without having to change your life to achieve it.”
Henrietta
Fudakowski, Story Editor of Tsotsi, 2006 Oscar-winning Best Foreign Language Film.
“This book is a godsend for any writer! Laurie’s insightful exercises and smart writing schedule make it possible for anyone with a dream and one hour a day to tell complex and emotionally satisfying stories. It is a perfect how-to book... Bravo!”
Sean Kennelly, contributing writer, Creative Screenwriting & Jim Hill Media
I can’t tell you how many writers, directors and producers come into my consulting office, classroom or seminars with their arms folded and an “Okay, show me” look on their faces. But when these professionals discover and use these powerful techniques when they actually put
them into practice they send me an email afterwards all excited and inspired. Here is one
example:
"Digging from both parts of the creative tunnel, the emotional side and the side of reason, is an exceptional way to work. This is the power of working with Laurie. But there is a secret in those fortunate encounters. Laurie has the charisma to help you discover the unknown parts in
yourself and in your script—the most original parts, the most truthful parts. Glimpses of light and darkness taking a shape that is both sincere and unique.”
Maria Iliou, award-winning Greek writer/director and international Fulbright Film Fellow
