Writing a feature film treatment isn’t just a step in the process. It’s one of the most powerful tools you have as a screenwriter. When your treatment works, everything changes. Your story becomes clearer, your characters land with more impact, and you have something you can confidently share with agents, managers, and producers.

But this is also where many writers get stuck. You might find yourself overthinking the plot and losing the emotional core, getting buried in details without a clear structure, or questioning whether what you’ve written truly feels like a movie. It can be frustrating, especially when you know the idea itself is strong.

This lab is designed to move you through that. In this interactive Stage 32 experience, you will be guided step by step to shape your idea into a compelling, professional treatment. One that not only tells your story clearly, but proves it can sustain a full-length feature. You will learn how to balance structure with character, emotion with pacing, and creativity with what the market is actually looking for.

You will be working directly with Davina Hefflin, a literary agent most recently at Verve Talent and Literary Agency, whose clients have worked across Netflix, Amazon MGM, Apple TV+, Max, Hulu, Paramount+, and NBC, with credits including The Chi, Doom Patrol, and Selma. She understands what makes industry professionals lean in and what turns a treatment into something that gets real attention.

By the end of the lab, you will have a fully polished feature film treatment, along with a clear, repeatable process you can use on every project moving forward. You will walk away with stronger storytelling instincts, a sharper sense of structure, and the confidence to present your work with clarity and authority.

Before you ever type “FADE IN,” this is the step that proves your story is ready. Once you have that, you are no longer guessing. You are moving forward.

This interactive Stage 32 lab is held on Zoom and goes substantially more in depth than a Stage 32 webinar. Best of all? As soon as you sign up you will be linked on email with your Stage 32 Educator and given a questionnaire to fill out and send back to them. You will have access to your Educator for the duration of your class by email to ask them any questions you have about your craft or career - it’s like having a mentor on demand! And, if you can't make a live session, don't worry! All class recordings will be available 48 hours after each session and you will be able to view them in your Library on your Stage 32 profile. Finally, you can expand your network with like-minded creatives - you'll have a dedicated lounge for interactive support and discussions with your fellow classmates!

Praise for Davina's Education:

Davina did an amazing job! No matter how random the question, she was able to give a clear, helpful, and thoughtful answer that managed to be both realistic and encouraging. She is extremely knowledgeable about the business, and had clearly put in the work to prepare for these classes, which were well-structured and interactive. She gave actionable and timely feedback on our assignments, which will serve as key tools for us going forward. Plus, Davina is engaging on a personal level, so it was a fun experience.
