    The only tv writing class you'll ever need...Dylan covered everything (with primo examples)! You'll read and dissect the best scripts, write both in and out of class, and get feedback from a master. I signed up for level 2 about 60 seconds after it was offered. If you're serious about getting stronger and finally realizing that idea, do yourself a favor and take this class.

    John is a great teacher and a fun person. Those are critical for learning. Nobody wants a teacher who is judgey or mean or just not fun. For such a short class, I learned a ton. Thanks so much John!

    Dylan is such a great teacher! He's got a lot of enthusiasm in class and gives lots of great information and feedback. It's a great class to take if you want to start your first pilot script or rework a current one you want to finish. Class is weekly and very structured and homework reading other pilots and watching them. A must if you want to write your first pilot!
