VIRTUAL CLASSES
At the moment, the classes I am offering are online and self-directed - a combination of pre-recorded videos and workbooks. The advantage to this format is that I can offer the classes at a more affordable price and you can take them whenever you want, fully at your own convenience and pace. Once you purchase the class, the videos and workbook are yours forever, so you can go back and re-visit them as often as needed. ​
​
If you are looking for live feedback, advice, or supplemental teaching, I would recommend pairing the courses with some one-on-one coaching (scroll down).
​
It is likely that I will offer live group classes again in the future, so check back here for those!
​
NOTE: Once you purchase a course, I will send you an email with the course files and information.

SCREENWRITING I INTENSIVE
Ernest Hemingway famously said, "The first draft of anything is shit."
That is true. It is also true that the first draft is what you need to get on the page before you can begin the process of turning your screenplay from a piece of creative inspiration into the masterpiece that you know, someday, it can be.
​
This course gets you off the starting block and into your creative process, as I lead you through creating a writing process and, with videos and workbooks, lead you through writing a first draft of your screenplay in 8 weeks.
​
$97
for 8 weeks worth of videos, coursework, and worksheets to bring you to a first full draft of your screenplay
