The Lowdown on Ron Osborn
Ron Osborn is a heavy-hitting screenwriter, producer, and executive consultant who's been crushing it in the game for over 40 years. His flicks have raked in nearly $500 million USD worldwide, and his TV hustle snagged him Emmy noms across three different decades.
When you jump in with Ron, you’re not just listening to some dry academic; you’re getting the plug from a Hollywood insider who’s survived the mental highs and lows of the biz. He’s developed projects with legends like Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard, and George Lucas. Ron is a proper story architect who knows that winning happens when you flip creative art into a commercial masterpiece—a literal industry mover and shaker.
His credits are mental, featuring iconic shows like 'Mork and Mindy,' 'Night Court,' 'Moonlighting,' 'Duckman,' and 'The West Wing'. He’s written comedy that slaps and drama that actually hits home, developing pilots for every big network and studio. This isn't textbook theory; it’s hard-won wisdom from the trenches of writers' rooms and intense pitch meetings where careers are either made or munted.
Ron will teach you how to be more than just a creative. He’ll show you how to be a professional—how to build a yarn that can survive brutal studio notes, how to secure the bag with a sustainable career, and how to balance your artistic vision with the cold realities of the biz. He’s the ultimate screenwriter: someone who’s mastered the art and the business hustle that brings it to life.
Why Ron's Hustle & Experience Flip the Script on Your Success
Screenwriting is a whole different language. Compared to basic creative writing, it’s like trying to read hieroglyphics without a guide. A choice masterclass needs to nail three things:
Deliver the technical gear: Everything from formatting and three-act flow to character energy, plot, and dialogue that actually sounds real.
Keep it easy to digest: Make the bones of the craft stick so it becomes second nature. Being a good writer doesn’t always mean you're a good mentor—Ron is both.
Impart the business hustle: Successful writers know the difference between a cool story and one that will actually sell in today's market.
This masterclass checks all the boxes
1. For 50 years, Ron has been a pro screenwriter. No hosing around.
2. For the last 35 years, he’s taught at the prestigious Art Center, held seminars from Aussie to Mumbai, and was a DreamWorks Animation mentor.
3. As a heavy-duty member of the WGA, DGA, and PGA, he’s sat on both sides of the pitch desk. He’s the mind behind Mork & Mindy, Moonlighting, The West Wing, and has written for absolute A-listers like Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins.
Ron isn't just teaching dusty theory. He's teaching what actually slaps in Hollywood TODAY.
