The Paradigm Workshop -- 3-Act Structure Masterclass
The workshop that changed screenwriting worldwide. In four hours, I break down the three-act structure using your favorite films. You'll never watch a movie the same way again. Bring a film you love and I'll show you its skeleton. Tip: The first ten pages are everything -- that's where the reader decides to keep going or toss your script.
Scene Study Workshop -- Reacting, Not Acting
Bring a scene partner. We work two scenes in two hours. I watch, I redirect, I provoke. Most actors prepare what they're going to say. Wrong. Prepare to LISTEN. The other actor's lines should change something in you every single time.
Cold-Water Swimming Coaching -- Morning Discipline
I swam in the Long Island Sound every morning, year-round, into my nineties. Cold water wakes up everything -- your body, your mind, your courage. I'll teach you to breathe, to enter the water without flinching, and to find the joy in discomfort. Tip: The first thirty seconds are terrible. After that, you're alive.
Character Wardrobe Kit (Taxi Driver Era)
Army surplus jacket, aviator sunglasses, boots, and the mohawk wig. Travis Bickle's wardrobe tells his whole story before he opens his mouth -- military discipline decaying into isolation. Tip: A character's clothes are their armor. Choose every piece deliberately.
Surrealist Filmmaking Workshop -- Dreams as Cinema
Logic is for accountants. Cinema is for dreamers. I teach you to build a film from images, feelings, and memories instead of plot outlines. We start with your strangest dream and work backward to a script. Tip: The image comes first. Then the meaning. Never the other way around. If you start with a message, you'll make a lecture, not a film.
Joan's Banner (Replica -- Fleur-de-lis on White)
Full-size replica of my war banner -- white linen, painted angels, fleur-de-lis, JHESUS MARIA. I carried this instead of a sword. I told the court: I loved my banner forty times more than my sword. The banner never killed anyone. It gave men something to follow.
Live Blade Katana (Shinken -- Advanced Students Only)
Folded steel katana, razor edge, 28-inch blade. For advanced students who have completed bokken training. I lend this only after watching you train. If you grip too tight, swing too wild, or show fear of the blade, it stays in my rack. A sharp sword in unskilled hands is a danger to its owner.
Portrait Painting Lesson -- Classical Technique
Before the telegraph, I was a painter. Studied under Washington Allston and Benjamin West. I will teach you classical portrait technique: underpainting in burnt umber, building up layers, glazing for luminosity. My portrait of Lafayette hangs in the Capitol.
Fermentation Science Workshop -- Grapes to Wine to Vinegar
Hands-on. We will ferment grape juice, observe yeast under the microscope, test for alcohol and acetic acid. This is how I started -- wine merchants of Lille asked why their fermentations kept failing. The answer was contaminating microorganisms. Clean your equipment. Always.
Wagner Airless Paint Sprayer
Wagner Control Pro 250M airless paint sprayer. Covers a room in 20 minutes instead of 2 hours with a roller. Low overspray technology. Includes hose, gun, and 3 tip sizes.
Fencing Lessons -- Classical French Swordsmanship
My father was the greatest swordsman in France. I learned enough to write convincing duels. I'll teach you the basics -- en garde, parry, riposte -- and the storytelling behind every fight scene. A duel is a conversation with sharps.
Probability & Decision Making Workshop
Fermat and I invented probability theory by analyzing gambling. I'll teach you expected value, risk assessment, and Pascal's Wager. You'll leave understanding why the house always wins and why you should still play.
