Screenwriting: Birthing The First Draft
Meditative Writing See all classes by this school @ Virtual Classroom
Are you an artist and have the desire to write a screenplay but find that most approaches rob you of the art and feel like an algorithm meant to hack a system? Art cannot be planned. Great works require a surrender. Yet a screenplay is a beast and often times, complete surrender can leave you with 150 pages that you're not sure what to do with. This is why we've created a new workshop just for you. This is 8 weeks of assisted self-discovery...

Meditative Writing Level One: The Process of Creativity
This class was so much fun - even if you don't want to write the next big screen play. I learned more about myself than I did with my last therapist :-) Jess is amazing and so much fun!!! -

What a remarkable instructor/mentor/coach/cheerleader is Jessica Hinds. Her passion for writing and the enthusiasm she brings to her class is infectious. I am new to screenwriting but have written extensively in other genres, (primarily plays). This class has saved me many hours (and dollars) learning about how to go about this form of creative writing. More importantly, she imparts an irresistible desire to write, I've churned out more pages this month than in the previous year. Thank you Jess, I look forward to taking another class from you soon. -
Meditative Writing Level 1 and 2
It was cancelled. The first class was fine but in the second recording, it didn't really feel like the information progressed. The last two classes (half of the course) were cancelled so I’m inclined to ask for a refund. I honestly didn’t receive an opportunity to further my writing or learn the advertised technique. What I did take away from the class is that’s its really led to help fiction writers and I didn’t think that was clearly expressed in the description. But people may want to know that before signing up if they are working in another direction. Overall, just disappointed the whole thing slipped through the cracks. -
