Robert McKee The Power of Story

Takes place over two days: Monday 24th May 08:00 – 18:00 & Tuesday 25th May 09:00 – 17:00

Robert McKee's Story Seminar is the stuff of Hollywood legend. Over 50,000 people have attended Robert's courses over the last 25 years, and his former students have gone on to win 36 Academy Awards and 158 Emmy Awards. So influential and well-known is his Story Seminar that it was featured in the Nicholas Cage/Spike Jonze film, Adaptation.

Not only intended for screenwriters, the Story Seminar is attended by media & marketing executives, creative agency professionals and just about anyone who needs to communicate more clearly and convincingly. Over the last 25 years, even lawyers and bankers have taken his course to learn how to develop the story of an IPO or why investors should buy shares.

Taking place over two days, Monday 24th May and Tuesday 25th May, Robert's enormously stimulating and information-packed Story Seminar: The Power of Story will reveal the essential elements of story design that help separate great stories from the rest of the pack.
