Screenwriting.
Develop a method. Find your voice.
Have you ever watched a film or series and thought:
Why did that scene hit so hard? Why did this character choice feel inevitable? Why does one story stay with me—and another vanish instantly?
Curious about writing for the screen? Or simply keen to understand films and TV from the inside? This online course gives you a clear, practical way into story craft.
No need for experience, connections, or even a finished idea. Just using the movies and shows you love, we’ll help you see structure, character, and theme—and use them without turning stories into formulas.
Achievable. Structured. Beginner-friendly.
ENROL NOWMost courses avoid the real question and sell you a pretty ebook instead. Karel does the opposite. From decades of experience in the international film and television world, he gives you the complete thinking framework—and trusts you to use it. If you’re genuinely curious about how stories work, and ready to engage with the craft, this course will meet you where you are..

Enrol NowKarel Segers is a great teacher and his ability to break down concepts into actionable steps is exceptional. I love the practicality of the course. It is well-structured, and I could immediately apply everything I learned.
I’m a novelist and wanted to adapt my own work. I had not expected the benefits for my novel writing. Before the course, I finished about one novel every year. Since taking it, I have doubled my output.
