Reviews Average Rating: 5 out of 5

  • So fun. Loved seeing the text scrolling along with the movie. Really great experience seeing how to pick apart and talk about screenplays in constructive, helpful ways. Cool to focus on monologues, but different types of monologues in different formats, and writer's intentional choices, the 'tool kit' we can employ when crafting powerful dialogues on the page. GREAT experience.
  • This was a fantastic webinar. Learned a lot and enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you, Allen.
