We went to film school so you don't have to.
We fought our way into the industry, and learned the hard way that Hollywood does not play by film school rules. We want to use our skills and experience in the trenches to help you break in to the business, at the fraction of the cost of an irrelevant and outdated 'writing program'.
And like a Hollywood shrink, our program is truly all about you...
Our mission statement:
'One Student. One Professional. One great script.'
Consider this:
Have you or your friends ever paid thousands to sit in a screenwriting class of fifteen people, despairing silently as the same student wastes valuable class time?
Have you ever realized with horror that the professor teaching you has not sold a script or pitch to a real producer since the 80's, or maybe (gulp)... EVER?
Have you ever realized that your teacher's agenda is just to talk mournfully about themselves, thwart your hopes and certainly NOT to help you successfully break an idea that can sell to Hollywood in 2011?
If so, we feel your pain. If not, we can prevent your disillusion. Read on.
You need a one on one class which is on YOUR schedule, which builds on YOUR existing skillset and which exists for one reason only. To give you the best shot to succeed as a film or TV writer today.
You need working, guild represented screenwriters with recent sales as your teachers who know how the system works IN REAL TIME NOT IN 1989!
We know this business is about connections. We believe that what goes around comes around. Unlike other teachers who hold their cards close to their chest we actually want you to succeed. We will save you months or years of useless study and cut right to the chase.
If you have talent, we will help direct it the right way. The rest is yours for the taking.
We meet top producers and studio excutives every day of the week. We can teach you how the system REALLY works, TODAY in a way that an archaic college course never will.
How are we so sure? Within the past four years alone, we have sold film and TV pitches, spec scripts and video game/movie tie-in IP's to the following companies, networks and studios:
Paramount, Dreamworks, Universal, Vanguard, Warner Bros TV, ABC Studios, Castle Rock, Smokehouse, SyFy Channel, Walt Disney Pictures, Blacklight Transmedia, Imagine, Blind Wink.
We have developed and pitched projects for luminaries including Stan Lee, Rob Reiner, George Clooney and Gore Verbinksi.
We take our careers seriously. We can help you.
