Hi! I'm Marsha Scarbrough. Although I spent 20 years in Hollywood as a DGA Assistant Director, I'm the author of two award-winning memoirs, and I've had over 100 articles published in national magazines, I'm a screenwriter at heart. I had the privilege of studying privately with the award-winning comedy writer Bill Idelson, not only did I learn about story structure, I learned profound life lessons. I also learned "Method Writing" from actor/poet/psychologist Jack Grapes which was a deep dive into my emotional world. Bill has left the planet, but Jack is still teaching, now online! Highly recommended. Who have been your most amazing teachers?
