"I have learned how to look for patterns in a film's structure, how to identify functional moments and so much more. How to think about removing a scene and seeing how that affects the viewers emotion, how to think about the A to B progression of plot, character and theme."

T.G., screenwriter

"Jennine has made this course so easy to understand and to apply to my own writing. I especially liked the analysis on A to B progressions on all three aspects of character theme and action. It has made my thinking as a writer more deliberate in how to tell my story."

S.L., screenwriter

"This course helped illustrate the idea that practically everything matters!! That the order of scenes, the story, character , and theme each play a key part in the craft of a well told story. Recognizing the importance of each is what I found to be valuable & beneficial to my creative process."

L.G., screenwriter

"The mentor's approach on structure and the way it is conveyed in the modules, professional, clear, generous in the way it conveys information and knowledge..."

R.d.A., screenwriter
