The Sleeper Hit List is a group of like-minded writers and creatives who know intimately, the life of the writer — the highs and the lows, and who know how important building connections are in this industry. Sleeper Hit List was started by writer/director Titus Heckel. Titus is a multi-award-winning filmmaker and screenwriter. He’s also a physics nerd and in another life, a trained priest (now of the non-practicing; non-believing variety :-) !
You can’t break the rules until you know the rules. This resource explores the fundamentals of formatting, structure, character, dialogue, theme and all the pixie dust that helps makes movie magic. We also discuss the life of the writer — commitment, routine, and self-reflection.
The sky is as big as you want it to be. And you can go anywhere, do anything. We experience the joy of playing in the realm of ideas! Here we start big and hone an idea into a compelling and entertaining concept. Then we explore that premise until we have a workable three act structured story.
Finally, we put it on paper. The culmination of all our creative explorations — crafting a professional feature screenplay. Here, as you write, you are mentored, scene by scene, act by act, shaping the work to fully realize your vision for it until you type: “THE END.”
Any project and completed script could be put in front of one of many producers, executives or agents your mentor knows. You have to keep going!
You have a story you NEED to tell. So stop listening to the nay-sayers and commit to the journey!
