WRITING THE BIODRAMA
Online Course
Have you got a real life story that must be told?
Biopics and stage plays based on real lives are loved by audiences: think Oppenheimer, I, Tonya, Amadeus, or Elvis.
But most scriptwriting manuals won’t help you overcome the particular problems facing the bio-dramatist. I found this out when I was commissioned to write a main stage play on an Australian national sports hero back in 2016. This gap in the literature had me devote years of my life researching the unique creative processes required to write a script based on a real person. I ended up writing three scripts and interviewed dozens of prominent screen and stage writers including Academy Award Nominees and who also had to create their scripts without outside guidance.
In the spirit of Black Friday, I’m thrilled to announce a special offer on my online course, “Writing the Biodrama.”
For a limited time, the course that has received many five star reviews is now available at $99, down from its regular price of $249!
But that’s not all! As a bonus, if you complete the ten-week course and have an outline of your biodrama/biopic, I’ll provide personalised feedback for FREE. This is a rare opportunity usually valued at $200! Because I deeply believe the world needs more real-life stories.
Don’t miss this chance to elevate your storytelling skills and bring your biodrama/biopic to life.

Exceptional! It had real depth to it, with plenty of insights and examples. It has not only helped me improve my screenplay, it has actually made me interrogate it more, and open up exciting new approaches and techniques.
I absolutely loved doing the course: it's very well put together, and Tee delivers it with great warmth and wisdom. The time I spent watching or reading the introductory materials and on the exercises quickly became the highlight of my day. With the course framework to guide me, my research remained purposeful and - vitally, was then put to use. I started the course with a fairly unbaked idea and a short first draft, and finished it with a clear idea of plot and structure and a play that has a clear identity as a biodrama.
The course is well-structured with a perfect blend of short video lectures, audio lectures, and practical tasks. Tee’s approach to teaching biodrama is not only informative but also engaging and inspiring. What I appreciated most is Tee’s ability to break down complex concepts into simple, easy-to-understand terms. Her passion for biodrama shines through in every aspect of the course, and it’s contagious. I found myself feeling more excited and motivated to work on my own biodrama project with every passing lesson.
