Instructor Statement:

As with any discipline, becoming a successful screenwriter involves establishing critical foundations in the classroom and, subsequently, practical application in the field. I have spent over a decade writing screenplays and have worked in some of the industry’s most accomplished Literary Departments, including Innovative Artists and Creative Artists Agency. I have helped writers of varying levels develop their craft and develop mastery of process from both a creative and business standpoint. Screenwriting is a vastly collaborative art form; my course is designed to assist you in achieving your own specific goals by means of peer review, guest lecturer input, and individualized feedback to scripts and other written materials. This course is designed as a forum for comprehensively exploring all aspects of developing, writing, and selling a screenplay. Ultimately, I want to help you find and nurture your unique storytelling voice and guide you to create inspired writing for film.
