We will be pouring decades of combined writing experience into this ONE-TIME workshop - sharing the secrets we have learned as novelists who transitioned to screenwriting. Our combined television credits include The Outer Limits, Jordan Peele’s “The Twilight Zone,” Horror Noire, Andromeda and MORE. We have also sold feature scripts to Fox Searchlight, Miramax and Lifetime - and consulted studios on major releases.
Be prepared to take notes and ask questions. This is hard-won wisdom designed to take you from wherever you are now to the level of skill and understanding you need to get a head start in the world's most competitive creative arena.
