I learned how to use the camera to tell my story, and how to direct actors to get the most out of their performances". - Toni R., Filmmaker "It is a great environment, culture, and energy. ...with knowledgeable teachers providing one-on-one feedback on the spot". - Adebiyi O., Actor "I have taken lots of other screenwriting workshops and I wish I could reclaim my time and get my money back from all the other workshops. What I learned in this workshop were the map and tools to finish any story that I have an idea for. It was more hands-on... I have written over 20 scripts...and they have done well but it was a struggle... I always knew I had the talent and now I know how to do it as a professional and can finish a script with confidence!"  - Juliette R. "The course I took was a very life-changing experience it opened my eyes more to what being on set was about... different camera shots.
