Storycraft: The Life & Death Story Model
A radical new way to build stories that resonate, grip, and stay with your audience.
Most story frameworks teach structure.
This one rewires how you see story.
The Life & Death Story Model is my signature narrative architecture—built from decades of hands-on storytelling, script development, and coaching hundreds of writers. It’s a system that goes beyond the surface of plot to help you:
Create stories with emotional inevitability – where every scene is charged with meaning.
Balance commercial viability with deep artistic intent – so your work can reach audiences and satisfy your creative voice.
Build protagonists who transform in ways your audience can feel – not just understand.
Whether you’re writing your first screenplay or developing your tenth, this course will give you a blueprint for clarity, momentum, and emotional punch in your storytelling.
You’ll Learn How To:
Engineer a Central Dilemma that binds your story together from the first page to the last.
Weave together the Life Story and Death Story for richer, more layered stakes.
Design your Transformer Protagonist so their arc drives both plot and theme.
Use the Igniter Antagonist to accelerate transformation and force crucial change.
Deliver an ending that feels both surprising and inevitable—the holy grail of storytelling.
Why This Works
This model doesn’t just tell you where your beats go. It teaches you how to make every beat matter. You’ll leave this course with a story that’s stronger, tighter, and more emotionally compelling—because it’s built on a framework designed for real human impact.
Perfect For:
New and emerging screenwriters who want a proven starting point.
Experienced writers seeking to deepen emotional resonance.
Novelists, playwrights, and other storytellers who want to master cinematic structure.
Format: Self-paced online course, exclusive to the Storytowne community.
Access: Lifetime access to all lessons, videos, and worksheets.
Investment: $197
