“I would absolutely take this course again. It combines screenwriting theory with a refreshingly realistic approach to getting your scripts on the page, delivered in a friendly atmosphere that cultivates creativity. The whole approach is grounded in the reality of what it's actually like to work on a script, with plenty of examples, templates, and tables to help steer you. 10 out of 10!”

“Paul is an excellent communicator and passionate teacher. His screenwriting class was essential to help me articulate my stories and translate them into a formula that works for film. The way he helps you break down you story and develop your characters helps him stand apart from other teachers I've had.”

“Being in my 50s and never having written prior to this class, I wasn’t sure I would be able to keep up. But with Paul's positive and detailed teaching style, I was able to finish a final draft of my script. I thoroughly enjoyed this class and highly recommend it to anyone, regardless of age, experience or knowledge!”
