Screenwriting Masterclass

Learn screenwriting at one of the highest-rated workshops in South Florida!


  • Are you a Writer or Director or want to learn how to consistently write award-winning scripts?
  • Are you an Actor who wants to write your own content?
  • Are you "stuck"? Do you have a script sitting on the shelf that you want to finish, but you're not sure how?
  • Or do you have an idea you think would make a great film, but you're not sure where to start?
  • Are you a producer who wants to understand how to identify good scripts to invest in?

If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions then the Screenwriting Masterclass is for you!

In two days, you will learn how to develop compelling stories with rich characters.

The kind of stories that win awards and accelerate careers.

You’ll learn fast, consistent, practical tools that work for any narrative story, including novels, feature films, TV shows, journalism, documentaries, and more.


What will we do in the workshop?

In two days, you'll LEARN a consistent, flexible framework that brings stories to life.


You will get:

  • One-on-one support as you develop your story.Several rounds of personalized feedback.
  • An experienced mentor guides you each step of the way.
  • A well-developed short screenplay that you can produce.
  • Techniques you will use for the rest of your life.

Note: If a script is strong, we may select it for production.

(The last two films produced were "Official Selections" and screened at prestigious film festivals!)
