Comments from former students

Raymond Sweet -
The Weekend Film Crew Screen Writer's class was the ultimate experience. The first day was packed full of fun and information. We were challenged to take our knowledge from the first day and create 5 pages of script to be reviewed the next day. Just to get into the mind of an industry leader like Joe Davison for 2 days was well worth the tuition.
