Every class is recorded and available in the private student forum. The replays are typically available about two hours after they finish.

Several professional writers, directors, and producers have turned to me for help on their projects. Among them: the Tangled animated series for Disney TV, the #3 Blacklist 2020 Blacklist spec script Neither Confirm, Nor Deny, and the creative minds behind Netflix's uber-successful The Mitchells vs. the Machines.

It really depends on how much you want to put into it. At most, we're talking 3-4 hours tops per week, and that includes time spent watching 2-3 films. In other words, the assignments are short and to the point. That said, the writer is encouraged to take advantage and go above and beyond what is required if they want to push themselves.

The assignments in the beginning consist of watching a couple of films while applying what you learned.

Writers are also encouraged to come to the class with a story idea in mind that they can develop during the 6 weeks (the assignments are meant to help the writer understand how learning from other films can be applied to their own work).

Enrollment into this cohort gives you lifetime access to our public discussion board (currently on Discord). In addition, you’ll have private access to cohort-only channels where you can speak 1 on 1 with fellow students, or message Jim directly.

You’ll basically get expert support during—and long after—your experience in this course.

Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11am Pacific for the weekly workshops.

Most classes run about 2 hours each (twice a week). I've tried to make them shorter, but just can't seem to make it work!

(Note: past cohorts have adjusted the time to meet the needs of the students. Contact us if a different time would work better for you)

You'll end the six weeks with a solid understanding of how to turn the story in your head into an actionable outline quickly and smartly.

"Writer's Block" will be a thing of the past.

(And you'll know, because you'll be able to put "Writer's Block" in quotes like I did, knowing it's not real! 😃)

No!

The point of this course is to make it so you can do all of this on your own.

You'll always have access to our private AI-Powered Storytelling channels in our Discord. As resources improve, you'll have access to those updates as well.

Several writers have found themselves in the same place as you, knowing they'll learn something even more the second time.

For an additional fee ($650), you can join any future cohorts indefinitely (and free of additional charge).

This fee can be paid anytime up to and until one week after the last class ends.
