Robert McKee

Australia & New Zealand Seminar Tour 2004


The World’s Ultimate Screenwriting Courses taught by Hollywood’s Master of the Craft.

Presented by Epiphany Artists in association with the New Zealand Film Commission

Robert McKee is the reigning high priest of the screenplay circuit. For 20 years, McKee’s Story Seminar has been the world’s ultimate story class – virtually a career imperative – for everyone who creates, evaluates, interprets and directs stories.

A Fulbright Scholar, McKee is the most widely respected and celebrated screenwriting instructor in the world today. He is the author of the award winning bestseller, ‘STORY – Substance, Structure, Style and the Principles of Screenwriting’. His Story Seminar draws sell out houses all over the world and he is a project consultant to network television producers and major Hollywood film studios. Paramount annually purchases this course for their entire development staff.

The Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue, March 2004, said ‘A not so secret force in the movie industry is Hollywood’s most sought after screenwriting instructor, Robert McKee. Trained as an actor, McKee hectors, cajoles and entertains his audiences of screenwriters and studio executives as he takes them through his intensive, three day Story Seminar. “People who whip out their iMacs without a firm understanding of the craft”, McKee warns, “are just taking their talent out for a walk”.

Robert McKee has revolutionized our approach to screenwriting in Australia, with over 2500 local writers and filmmakers attending Story Seminar (and his genre seminars) since 2000.

His former students' accomplishments are unmatched: They have won 26 Academy Awards, 124 Emmy Awards, 24 Writers Guild of America Awards, and 19 Directors Guild of America Awards. Past students include Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings trilogy), Charlie Kaufman (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Being John Malkovich), William Goldman (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid), Rob Sitch (The Castle), Andrew Stanton (Finding Nemo) amongst thousands of others - from first time writers right through to Hollywood’s A-list filmmakers and screenwriters.

Ideal for Screenwriters & TV writers, Directors and Producers, Actors and Industry Executives, Novelists and Journalists, Film and Documentary Makers.

‘A visionary master of the craft and a brilliant teacher, McKee reveals the magic and mysteries of story design. It’s an experience guaranteed to leave writers of every stripe spellbound’. - Variety Magazine

‘McKee is Hollywood’s MOST WANTED screenwriting teacher...fanatically empowering...inspiring and enthralling’ - Movieline

‘Knowledge of story design is just as vital for the novelist as it is for the screenwriter. Nobody imparts this widsom like Robert McKee. He is not only the best teacher of writing I’ve ever had, but the best teacher of anything’ - Steve Pressfield, author of ‘The Legend of Bagger Vance’ and ‘Gates of Fire’

‘It’s an amazingly important course that I have gone back to do three times’ - John Cleese
