The Industry Is Evolving.
Will Your Stories Be Left Behind?
While the world debates whether AI will replace writers, visionary storytellers are asking a better question:
What makes a storyteller irreplaceable?
It’s not just about speed or imagination.
It’s about understanding how stories actually work.
At Refinery-42, we teach the mechanics beneath the magic—how belief drives conflict, how pressure creates transformation, and how structure, character, and theme must work together from the start.
Too many writers waste years rewriting the same draft—layering character over plot, treating theme like an afterthought.
The result? Stories that feel constructed instead of compelling.
We do things differently.
The Refinery System builds stories from the inside out—applying pressure to the raw materials of your ideas until they reveal something powerful, resonant, and true.
This isn’t a formula. It’s a foundation.
You’ll master what most writers spend decades trying to crack:
How to craft transformational narratives that connect.
Whether you’re writing a screenplay, developing a series, or building a novel—this is where it starts.
AI can accelerate your workflow.
Only you can bring meaning to the page.
Because in a world flooded with generic content, it’s the human stories—told with craft, clarity, and emotional truth—that will rise above the noise.
The future belongs to story architects—creators with vision, voice, and the tools to shape stories that matter.
That future starts here.
It starts on the page.
And it starts now.

"Keren helped me realize that there was more than just ideas in me, she gave me the tools, the encouragement, and the place to practice. She taught me how to flesh ideas out into full fledged stories that had feet. As a beginner-writer and only having written creatively before, it felt empowering to be able to translate that to fit for the screen. It also was really nice to go through this process with others who were both learning and experienced. Leave your pride at the door, buckle up, and get ready to learn. It’s worth it!"
– The Foundations, Charisse Uy
"I was new to screenwriting and came from a novel-writer’s perspective. Keren’s course and guidance offered such incredible insights and knowledge into the world of screenwriting. The course was achievable yet challenging enough to keep me wanting to strive harder. I look forward to more courses and the opportunity to hone these skills further. I highly recommend Keren’s courses to anyone that wants screenwriting experiences."

"I have completed Keren’s Skills Mastery course as well as her TV Series Writing course. As a working Hollywood writer Keren is well equipped to arm you with the structure and tools to not only write fabulously crafted, and correctly formatted scripts, but to also create stand-out pitch decks. She is an overflowing fount of knowledge, and her classes are wonderfully collaborative. I highly recommend Keren’s courses if you are looking to stand-out as a screenwriter."
- The Foundations, The Series Lab, Karen Codd
"I am still amazed at how much learning Keren could fit into this class, but she guides you through it effortlessly with her wealth of experience and industry knowledge. Along with providing you the tools for telling stories, with the writing workshop aspect of the class, I felt the improvement in my writing over 8 weeks. I now feel so much more confident to keep writing and tell my stories."
