Introduction to Screenwriting
While I was not sure what to expect, the instructor was informative, friendly, and packed much information in a short time. She also challenged us with exercises, and engaged us as a group. I would definitely take another course with this instructor, and advance my screenwriting skills. Her real-world experience was welcome, also! -
Write Your Screenplay
Jake is an amazing teacher. Many are good at their craft but unable to share it. He does it with a warm, interactive style that made the class fun and interesting. -
Screenwriting 101 with Chris Reed
Very informative and inspirational! Highly recommend. -
Screenwriting I: 10 Week Workshop (Online)
I enjoyed the class and learned a lot. The instructor was enthusiastic, personable and knowledgeable and kept the information coming. He had excellent answers for any questions and made me want to take more classes on this subject. -
Write Your Screenplay
I haven't been this inspired in ages. Jacob made the course work and eventual worth of the screenplay seem like something that I knew I should do but didn't know how to finish. -
Meditative Writing
What a remarkable instructor/mentor/coach/cheerleader is Jessica Hinds. Her passion for writing and the enthusiasm she brings to her class is infectious. I am new to screenwriting but have written extensively in other genres, (primarily plays). This class has saved me many hours (and dollars) learning about how to go about this form of creative writing. More importantly, she imparts an irresistible desire to write, I've churned out more pages this month than in the previous year. Thank you Jess, I look forward to taking another class from you soon. -
Screenwriting I: 10 Week Workshop (Online)
This course was great! I had Vanessa, and she gave an awesome overview of the screenwriting process, answering the group's (many) questions along the way while staying on track with her course material, too. Well worth the $—I now feel equipped to get started writing my own screenplay! -
Screenwriting I: 10 Week Workshop (Online)
This was an excellent intensive one-day intro to screenwriting, including the development and classification of ideas, the process of taking a script from idea through various stages to the actual writing of the draft, an in-depth discussion of structure and the way it has changed over time (from the 1970s to today, for example), and a quick but informative overview of the software used in the actual screenwriting process. Loved it, would highly recommend. -
Write Your Screenplay
Inspiring, practical, encouraging. The kickstart you need. -
Write Your Screenplay
I have been around writing for a very long time from many perspectives, have degrees in writing and so on and within the first 15 minutes of class I started hearing things from Jacob that I had never heard anywhere. He is a brilliant teacher and the kind of person you just want to be around because I know he is changing not just my writing but my life in ways that I still have not even fully realized yet. -
Write Your Screenplay
Katie was great! -
Write Your Screenplay
The class really help me get over my fears and insecurities and just start writing! The exercices are brilliant and really help you develop good habits and painlessly start building structure. -
Screenwriting I: 10 Week Workshop (Online)
