Work with Mahtub Zare Mochanloo, writer on NOBODY WANTS THIS!

Romantic comedies are one of the most beloved and enduring genres in film. Whether you're writing for a major streamer or a made-for-TV movie, rom-coms offer a perfect blend of humor, heart, and happily-ever-afters. From swoon-worthy meet-cutes to grand romantic gestures, these stories capture the messy, funny, and emotional journey to true love. But writing a successful rom-com takes more than clever dialogue and a big kiss—it requires a keen understanding of character dynamics, comedic timing, and the emotional depth that keeps audiences invested. This course will equip you with the skills to turn your rom-com idea into a well-structured screenplay in just eight weeks.

Many aspiring writers face significant challenges when diving into a romantic comedy. They often fall into the trap of clichés, relying on predictable storylines, overused tropes, and one-dimensional characters. Others struggle to find the right tone—balancing humor with genuine emotion—making their stories feel either too superficial or melodramatic. Without a clear structure and an understanding of what makes these films resonate with audiences and industry executives, even the best ideas can fall flat.

In this eight-week lab, you’ll develop your romantic comedy from concept to a first draft while receiving personalized feedback every step of the way.
