SCREENWRITING TO WIN!

Everything A Writer Needs To Know - In One Weekend

Jeff has designed a unique weekend seminar that combines the wisdom of the Old School with the modern realities of the New School, and he is bringing it to writers and groups across the country.

Jeff’s two-day “Screenwriting To Win!” seminar delivers a vast array of traditional subject matter, including every aspect of screenwriting skills, three-act structure, business strategies, how to get an agent, etc., presented in a comfortable lecture / Q&A setting. Jeff has devised an easy way to make learning even the most difficult concepts fun, by using visual examples from iconic films. Jeff’s brand-new weekend seminar presents crucial information that has not, until now, been available anywhere else.

Jeff also offers several one-day and half-day classes.  Please contact us with a seminar request or for further information.

I thought I was already prepared for a screenwriting career, but the first 15 minutes of Jeff's seminar totally changed my perception.  After two days, I feel I finally have the tools and knowledge to make it.
