From
Blank Page to Big Screen
In
addition to all the vital information you need to develop
a screenplay, Brian and Keith give you and your project their
hands-on, personal attention. In a dynamic, collaborative
environment, their 'tag team' approach will help you evolve
your characters, develop your structure, conquer
your unique challenges.
Keith
and Brian developed West Coast Screenwriting
to help new writers, teachers of media, and writers who
want to take their work to the next level realize their ambitions.
It's not simply about learning to write; it's about screenwriters
and teachers both new and experienced being motivated, confident
and supported in their endeavours.
