Turn Your Movie Idea Into a Screenplay
Class was great. Only 2 minor issues. Chairs not comfortable at all for 8-9 hours and over slides ancient. However great class. Well worth time and money -
Turn Your Movie Idea Into a Screenplay
The class may be a little lengthy but Dr. Douglas Bell is a fantastic professor and an absolute myriad of information stuffed in one man!
