If you belong to a screenwriting group, or matriculate as a film student, or believe there are 15 writers in your area who would benefit and have interest in my high-energy, two-day screenwriting seminar/workshop — Nuts and Bolts: How to Really Write a Movie — then I am available to teach in your town.

Over the course of my 20-year career, I have written films for Paramount, Warner Brothers, Universal, Sony/TriStar, CBS, NBC, ABC, Lifetime, Hallmark, and many independent producers and production companies. My credits include 16 produced movies written for actors such as Jane Seymour, Amy Madigan, Sidney Poitier, Doris Roberts, Beau Bridges, Tess Harper, JoBeth Williams, Richard Thomas, and Ellen Burstyn. Few, if any, screenwriting teachers have my professional credentials and industry experience.

I combine my hard-work, Hollywood history with a love of teaching. For three years, I taught screenwriting, advanced screenwriting, and screenplay adaptation as a guest artist in the renowned film studies department at the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW).

My two-day seminar/workshop is informative, engaging, participatory, and functional. My approach is not philosophical or theoretical. It is, instead, hands-on and practical — here’s how to actually, physically, really write a film from Fade In to Fade Out.

Seminar Time: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for two consecutive days
Seminar Size: minimum of 15, maximum of 30
Cost: $295 per person, but free for the person(s) who help me arrange the seminar.
