Ten Month Mentorship Program
Turn your published book into a screenplay. Learn how to structure your story elements and character arcs to work for the screen - either for a feature length film or a pilot. Our instructors will guide you each step of the way in our live-online interactive classes. Share your progress and receive feedback in mentor-led workshopping sessions. Watch the class replays, interact with your classmates, and post questions for the instructors throughout the week in our private online community group. Complete your first draft, learn how to give and receive feedback, and dive in for your next draft.
