Create a marketable treatment for your romantic comedy feature with a producer and executive who has worked with Walt Disney Pictures, Paramount, Warner Bros., Village Roadshow, and more!

Rom-coms are back!

Do you have a great idea for a romantic comedy (rom-com) feature that you want to sell to a TV network or streamer? Now is the time! With the recent huge success of films like The Big Sick (Academy Award nominated!), Marry Me, Ticket To Paradise, and Shotgun Wedding, it’s clear that rom-coms are making a big comeback. These films are not only resonating with audiences and critics alike, but also doing huge numbers at the box office and with streamers. A new golden age of rom-coms is certainly upon us!

With streamers and studios investing more and more in rom-coms, now is the time to get your rom-com story out there. However, what are the potential buyers of rom-coms looking for? How do you approach them? What deliverables should you give to a buyer to get your project sold?

Believe it or not, you will have much more success selling your rom-com with a 3-4 page treatment rather than your completed spec script. While the completed script is icing on the cake, the concept, logline, one pager, and treatment are what will get your rom-com feature sold.

In this exclusive Stage 32 lab, you will develop your concept, logline, one pager, and, ultimately, 3-4 page treatment for your romantic comedy feature film with Matt Bierman, a studio executive and producer who has previously worked with Walt Disney Pictures, Paramount, Warner Bros., Village Roadshow, and more. Matt will work with you one-on-one and in a virtual class setting to get your romantic comedy ready to sell.

Matt is an expert in the field of romantic comedies having produced Christmas With the Darlings, Love at First Bark, Love Under the Stars, Memories of Christmas, and more.

You will learn the complete gambit of what makes a successful romantic comedy: understanding your audience, exploring the various sub-genres of this feature type, and discussing rom-com script structure.

Additionally, you will discuss the business model behind these types of movies - how they are made and monetized - which will help inform your story so you know that your film can be made in the buyer's sweet spot.

Matt will provide key tips on current market trends and buyer needs, and provide valuable insight into who the buyers of rom-com features are, what they are looking for, and how best to approach them.

You will walk away from this interactive lab with a completed logline, one pager, and 3-4 page treatment for your rom-com feature film that you can confidently pitch to buyers.

With the current rise of rom-coms, this lab is a must for anyone looking to make their mark in the world of romantic comedies!

Plus! Matt will provide you with a series of exclusive and helpful handouts to take with you and use when writing your next project. Downloads include:

• How To Write a Great Rom-Com Hero
• Rules for the Rom-Com Genre and Subgenres
