Whether you’re starting a new project, working on a rewrite, or want to learn new skills - join us to hone your craft.
All Classes take place 100% online utilizing free video conferencing software ZOOM so you can participate from anywhere in the world with an internet connection!
As you meet new people in your career, chances are they're going to want to ask you how you got into screenwriting and why you write what you write. Seems like a pretty simple question, but most of us suddenly get tongue tied and turned around when we try to answer. The good news is, because just about everyone is going to ask you this question, you can prepare an answer for it. Workshop the answer like a pitch and you can leave those tongue tied days in the rearview mirror!
