Lights. Camera. Write. 🎬 I’m excited to be teaching The Scriptwriter’s Workshop at the South Dallas Cultural Center in partnership with the City of Dallas Office of Arts & Culture. Every great film begins with a single page.

This four-week workshop is designed for beginner and intermediate writers who are ready to strengthen their storytelling, master screenplay structure, and bring their ideas to life. Whether you’re starting with a blank page or refining and idea you’ve had for years, you’ll leave with greater confidence as a writer and your own 5-page screenplay along with practical tools you can continue using long after the workshop ends.

Bring your laptop, notebook, pen, and creativity. We’ll take care of the rest. 🎟️ Registration is now open and spaces are limited to ensure personalized instruction and feedback. I’d love to see you there!
