Testimonials
"First class, top of the line. NCS really did a great job bringing such wonderful, friendly teachers and speakers together. Been to lots of others and this was beyond the best. Looking forward to March [Screenwriters & Filmmakers Expo] and will try to get five writers I know to sign up. Dave and I really want this to be a success and would love to have this continue in our area. There is a different more positive/friendly attitude when held in our area opposed to the LA area. I am really excited and proud of all your hard work."

(In regards to the 2-Day Workshop "Writing
for
Hollywood" on November 21 and 22, 2009)
“I had an idea but zero technical knowledge on how to turn it into a screenplay. I took the instructor's class and some follow up sessions. I now have a screenplay in the correct format and layout that is already attracting some interest from Hollywood. All inside a 3 month period. Can't ask for more than that."

"If you're looking to take that movie idea in your head and turn it into a professional, compelling script that production companies and studios will want to buy, then the Northern California screenwriting classes are for you. The instructor has a unique talent for helping screenwriters at every level of competence and experience. I highly recommend the screenwriting classes and workshops to anyone who is serious about developing as a writer, and crafting scripts worthy of the the biggest names in Hollywood."

"I enrolled in Beginning Screenwriting as a complete novice. I learned so much and continue to do so. The classes are fun, challenging (in a good way) and the instructor has a wealth of knowledge and experience to share with the students. I highly recommend this class, not just for screenwriters, but for anyone who enjoys creating with words."

"The world is not LA; the world is big, round and fully packed. Since everyone has a story, if and when that story gets on the page, and if and when that story is told with passion, clarity, and strength--that story will be heard--NSC tells the world "we're listening."
