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.
Character Development Workshop -- Who Is Your Hero?
A screenplay is only as good as its main character. In this workshop we build characters from the inside out: dramatic need, point of view, attitude, change. I'll make you answer four questions about your protagonist that will unlock your entire story.
Board Breaking Kit (Pine + Rebreakable Plastic)
Stack of 1-inch pine boards plus rebreakable plastic boards in 5 difficulty levels. Tip: Breaking boards is not about strength. It's about focus, follow-through, and believing your hand goes THROUGH the board, not TO it.
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.
Stella Adler's Acting Technique (First Edition)
Stella Adler's own handbook, first edition. She studied with Stanislavski in Paris -- the only American actor who did. This book is the foundation. Strasberg got the attention, but Adler got the method right.
Makeup & Prosthetics Kit -- Physical Transformation
The kit I used to age myself for the Godfather screen test. Spirit gum, cotton balls, dental plumpers, hairpieces, and scar wax. Your face is clay. Tip: Physical transformation starts a chain reaction -- change your jaw and your voice changes, your posture shifts, the character emerges from the body outward.
Opera-Length Gloves & Tiara Set (Tiffany's Costume Kit)
Black satin opera-length gloves, rhinestone tiara, and oversized sunglasses. The complete Holly Golightly look. Tip: Accessories don't complete an outfit. They complete a character.
Vintage Pin-Up Photography Lighting Kit
Three-point lighting setup from the golden age of Hollywood glamour. Key light, fill light, backlight, plus a butterfly diffuser for that soft, luminous look. This is how they shot me, Garbo, and Dietrich. Tip: The backlight is the secret -- it separates you from the background and makes your hair glow.
Dialect & Accent Coaching -- From Caribbean to Classical
I rebuilt my voice from a thick Bahamian accent to classical American diction. I can teach you to do the same with any accent. We work on vowel placement, consonant precision, and rhythm. The goal isn't to erase where you're from -- it's to choose how you sound for each role.
Samurai Screen Combat Workshop -- The Way of the Blade
Katana work for film. Proper draw, strike, and resheath. We use bokken (wooden swords) first, then move to iaito (blunt steel). I'll teach you the difference between real kenjutsu and what looks good on camera. Kurosawa insisted on realism -- the audience can feel a fake swing. Tip: Speed comes from relaxation, not tension.
Samurai Armor Set (Reproduction Do, Kabuto, Menpo)
Full reproduction samurai armor: chest plate (do), helmet (kabuto), and face guard (menpo). I wore gear like this in Throne of Blood and Samurai Trilogy. It changes how you stand, walk, and breathe. Tip: Wear it for an hour before filming -- let your body adapt so the armor disappears.
Film Editing Workshop -- The Invisible Art
Editing is where the film is truly made. I'll show you how a two-second cut changes everything -- mood, pace, meaning. We work with actual footage. I cut on a Moviola for forty years. Digital is faster but the principles are eternal: rhythm, contrast, surprise. Tip: The best cut is the one the audience doesn't notice.
