BPS 218: How to Write a Screenplay Super Fast! with Jeff Bollow

Have you ever wanted to learn how to write a screenplay fast? I
know I do. This is why I invited on the show award-winning
producer/director, best-selling author, film festival organizer and
public speaker, Jeff Bollow.

He is the author of Writing FAST: How to Write Anything with
Lightning Speed. Jeff Bollow began as an actor at age 12 in
his native Los Angeles (credits include Don't Tell Mom the
Babysitter's Dead and TV's Columbo) before working nearly
every job in production, from camera to sound to lighting — and
including jobs in development, post-production, and
distribution.

Jeff has worked on feature films, TV series, commercials,
music videos, radio, and corporate productions for companies such
as Universal, Castle Rock, Propaganda Films, DNA and the Oxygen
Network.

After migrating to New Zealand, where he directed television for
TV3 and co-founded the Big Mountain Short Film Festival, he
moved to Australia, where he launched Embryo Films. Through his
company, Jeff has reviewed over 20,000 project submissions and has
edited, assessed and/or mentored over 350 projects. He has script
doctored in Singapore, Australia, NZ, and the US; and has conducted
over 80 live weekend workshops to over 1200 writers in 9 cities in
5 countries, with a unanimous "recommend" approval rating.

His students have been optioned, produced and won (and placed) in
competitions worldwide. He designed FAST Screenplayin 2004 and
began officially building it in November 2009. It was finally
completed in July 2016, nearly 7 years later. Alongside it, he
created the FASTscreenplay YouTube Channel, which now includes
over 30 detailed and insightful free videos to encourage writers
and screenwriters around the world.

In May 2015, Jeff Bollow delivered his
first TED Talk, "Expand Your Imagination...
Exponentially" (see video below) at TEDxDocklands in
Melbourne, Australia, to prepare for the next phase of the larger
plan. Jeff's aim is to build an independent film studio that
inspires creativity worldwide, to help prepare humanity for the
dramatic changes our future holds. When he's not busy helping
writers with FAST Screenplay, he is working on a new book,
developing a television series, and planning two feature film
projects. Enjoy!
