Welcome to the ultimate screenwriter mentorship. Now, many of you know the story behind Mikhael Bassilli’s feature film Baby Money and how it got multiple distributors and investors for the project. What everyone should know upfront is that Mikhael came into this industry with no connections at all. So, what you will find here is a much different perspective than what you will find anywhere else. 

The mentorship at SAN is for screenwriters and filmmakers who are in a similar condition to what Mikhael was at the beginning of his career. More specifically, it is for screenwriters. 

The ability to develop a financially viable screenplay is the single greatest asset in the independent film market. In the age of analytics and data-driven investing, this is the new game.

Creating A Project That Guarantees A Return  

Dedicated screenwriters can learn the key points of creating a project that guarantees a high return for the investors and win this game. And this is exactly what mentorship is all about.

There’s an abundance of information out there about how to become a screenwriter. However, this mentorship promises a far different experience than anything. Mikhael Bassilli goes as far as saying that writers don’t even need to be in LA to succeed here. Writers can do it from wherever they are as long as they put their head down and do what Mikhael is telling them. If they do that, they will be laughing because everyone else is caught up in this old system. 

However, when you enter the mentorship, they enter into a totally different ball game. In this game, we follow clear and actionable linear steps and act strategically. So, there’s no need to fall into the cycle of submitting and failing. The mentorship coaches writers to learn from the failures. They pivot techniques that make the script be sought out by producers, distributors, and investors. It is so much easier than what writers could ever have imagined. 

Typically, screenwriters just sit and wait for their savior agent manager or producer, or anyone that can give them their shot. Frankly, that’s a dead-end, an expired business model. And so, the SAN mentorship program teaches writers ways to increase their odds of success. 

The Future Of The Industry 

Script developers are the future of the industry. The vast majority of screenwriters that exist follow the old dead business model. So, do not leave your fate in the hands of a group of people that have no special talents. The saddest part is that these people have no idea how to handle the rapidly changing film industry. They’re just as lost as you are and, they’re gonna come chasing you once you get everything together. 

There’s a power shift in this industry and the power is shifting towards script developers. These are the people who can create financially viable screenplays. Now, what does that mean? Well, in film school writers learned that there are four stages of production:

1. Development

2. Pre-production

3. Production 

4. Post-production

A Financially Viable Script

Writers learn how to take financially viable scripts into development.  Now, you may be wondering how do I create a financially viable script? What does that mean? The answer to that can be found in the ultimate screenwriter mentorship. 

So, the big thing that you need to learn right now is how to take your script from being just a story to being a commodity. At the SAN mentorship program, writers learn exactly that.

In this mentorship, writers are not only going to have the tools to craft top tier screenplays. But they will also learn how to make them into commodities. This is the clear path to production. 

So, when you enter the mentorship this is what you’re gonna get:

1. Writers get live weekly online classes with Mikhael Bassilli. Moreover, they will get his personal email and will be able to ask questions to get live answers.

2. Writers will be provided with whatever they need to accelerate their education here since the aim is to bring the writer’s script to a financially viable position. 

3. Every class will be posted on the dashboard. So, if you miss it, you can revisit it. Additionally, the firm will build a huge library of amazing content here. 

4. Writers will get linear content for educational purposes that starts with the mentality transformation.

SAN is creating a pathway to production and teaching writers how to identify the viability of scripts. More particularly, the writer’s own script that alone will change their perspective and will help them think like a professional.

The SAN Script Development Masterclass

The script development masterclass starts with first impressions and formatting. A real professional in this industry can just glance at a script and tell if you’re an amateur or a pro within seconds. So, the mentorship shows writers how to hack that and make an impeccable presentation of their script. This includes how to make your action and description visual. Every script that you develop will have to look pro level. These points really benefit a lot of the high-level screenwriters that do enter mentorship.

So, from there we get into the nitty-gritty of script development which includes

1. Character punch 

2. Enhancing script structure 

3. Refining scene structure 

4. Dialogue punch 

Now, this series is going to take a deep dive into advanced techniques that will help drastically improve the writer’s craft. We start with character development and then go into the structure, unlike schools that have it all in the wrong order. 

A Seamless Script Read

What’s commonly more than anything in the market are writers who lack a deep knowledge of character development but are fairly proficient in the three-act structure. So, if you find yourself struggling to smoothly get through your second and third acts. Or you’re getting feedback that your characters aren’t inactive or lacking conflict, then this mentorship program is for you. It will set the stage for a ton of success and entertainment value. These four modules are going to teach writers:

1. How to create multi-dimensional characters that pop off the page?

2. How to use characters to dictate a structure that flows seamlessly and leaves room for rich themes and meaningful narratives?

3. How to create scenes that explode with conflict and keep the reader hooked?

4. How to have people commenting on how great your dialogue is?

Since these tasks require practice, this will also include lots of worksheets, assignments, and exercises. Further, they will help writers in building these skills. The writers will also have access to over a thousand screenplays

Total Value 

The money that writers need to invest to become a part of the mentorship program is a lot. But that is just the starting point. After the basics, writers learn the writer’s room playbook, the producer magnet, and investor attraction secrets.

The writer’s room playbook shows the writer Mikhael’s playbook. This allows writers to increase their output and skill to the development team. The producer magnet and investor attraction secrets teach writers about the business perspective. As a result, it will equip them with everything that they need to transform a script into a valuable commodity. 

Moreover, the program provides writers with the plug and play business plans, pitch decks, budget top sheets, and all the things writers need to have a professional portfolio.

Writers will also receive a legal bundle that will contain all the legal documents that they may need. They’ll also receive a private investor black book with about 5,000 contacts to acquisitions from distributors and investors around the world.

So, once writers get through this process, they will have gateways to production. The total value of this program is absolutely insane. This is because clients pay upward of a hundred thousand dollars to take a project through development like this. At SAN, the writers receive so much more than what they pay for. 

The Bottom Line

If all this did was get the writer’s script produced, would it be worth it? The answer is yes. The program gets you connections with major players in the industry. How much would you pay to get connected and live your dream?

It takes $66 a month to get mentored and become a professional who gets movies made. This is all it takes to make the dream real.
