Find out what students are saying about this event!

This experience was a total rush of inspiring energy. I enjoyed every moment!

It taught me many crucial things that I need to know and really encourages me to get out there, make connections, and become something. Very inspiring.

 

As an aspiring actor, I really enjoyed this workshop and have gained so much knowledge that will better me as an actor as well as enhance my writing and directing skills.

I attended last year, too… and I enjoyed that, also. I learned quite a bit about writing both years. Thanks!


This field trip was so fun. I absolutely hate missing class, but this was well worth it.

 

I was worried that it'd be boring and long, but it really wasn't. I'm excited to get working on projects, and this helped a lot.

 

I would like to have this again next year because I think that I can still get even more out of this presentation. Thanks for a great job.

 

I have always been interested in writing, and this workshop really helped me see that it can actually happen.


Worth the time, effort, and expense. Wish it was longer.

 

Your enthusiasm made this course more interesting, as did your knowledge of how to relate to a high school aged crowd. Thank you.

 

The course was very informative and easy to follow. Good use of outside examples from movies!

 

This course has given me the knowledge necessary to see through a movie's surface to the inner workings of visual art –a must for would-be writers.


I really, really think you helped! It was an awesome course, and I'd LOVE to take another one!!!

Fantastic presentation! A lot of comedy to lighten up the mood without getting off point.

 

As a journalism and creative writer, this course taught me a lot about pitching my ideas to Hollywood producers and making my screenplays much better.

 

It was a VERY worthwhile class. I learned a lot and am much more confident in writing essays and stories.


Great enthusiasm, and the information was exactly what I needed and wanted. Thank you!

 

It was a wonderful presentation. I would like to come [to the] workshop again to learn more.

 

I have been having problems finishing story ideas, and now I understand the reasons they weren't coming together.

 

Not only did I learn about writing movies, but I was entertained, as well. This was the best workshop I have ever attended.


This course was great! It was well worth the time and money, and it inspired me to want to make movies.

 

The teacher's effectiveness in getting the information to the students was excellent, and I hope to attend more workshops by the Indie Film Group.

 

I never thought there was sooo much depth to movies. It definitely helps explain certain things!

 

I've made many films. However, I have never had any training in the structure of writing a screenplay. Now I feel that I have the resources that I need to write a good script. Thanks!
