Screenwriting Master Class: January-June 2016
You can learn everything you need to know about the craft of screenwriting on your own.
Watch movies.
Read scripts.
Write pages.
Study the pros.
You can do that and get to where you need to be.
If you want to expedite your learning process…
Steep yourself in comprehensive, coherent writing theory…
Adopt and adapt proven writing practices…
And do all that with mentors who have over 6 decades of experience working in the film and TV business, a combined 2 decades of teaching experience, and a genuine passion for Story and Storytelling…
Consider working with Tom Benedek and myself at Screenwriting Master Class.
I honestly believe there is no better value in online education than what we have to offer, a combination of insightful lectures, active 24/7 message boards, an honest and positive evaluative community, weekly teleconferences, and direct interaction and feedback from Tom and myself.
