QUOTES FROM WORKSHOP ALUMNI:

“… was a great learning curve. I have gained skills and tools that will help me develop my own concepts.”

“I really got to learn a lot as they (different people) brought their life experiences and life knowledge into the writing room and thus into the screenplay. It taught me a lot about writing…”
