Quantum Scriptwriting: Untangle Your Script Using Informed Structure
“Quantum Scriptwriting” is an easy-to-use, how-to manual of envisioning and writing a TV or film script. It utilizes well understood concepts like Tentpoles, but with an entirely new slant, and a revolutionary new concept called Ego Assets. These form the basis for Informed Structure, a solid and easy way forward no matter what type of script is being written.
But “Quantum Scriptwriting” goes even further by identifying the ‘entangled’ nature of all scenes in a script; showing that one scene instantly creates another, helping to build a script element by element, page by page.
In addition to classroom-level material on these revolutionary concepts, there are dozens of examples of all genres of films, and a scene-by-scene detailed breakdown of Hollywood blockbusters that shows how industry pros have used these concepts to create winning scripts for years.
Topics “Quantum Scriptwriting” is filled with appendices, illustrations, tables, and lists that illuminate and support the spectrum of scriptwriting.
It’s easy to understand and apply these principles to any story or script using a step-by-step approach that will certainly revolutionize your writing.

A unique look into storytelling! The nuts and bolts of creating a script that delivers beyond what people expect. Mark Sevi brings his decades of experience to the page in a direct, no frills way that makes it clear what each scene and completed story must fulfill as promised to the viewer. Decisive and applicable to any story, whether written as a script or a novel. Very enlightening. A great find!
