Read This Before You Decide

Published 26 days ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

Only 2 days to go before Zero to Hero starts! Over the last few days, I've gotten a number of different questions, so I thought, rather than repeating the answer over and over, let's cover them here - in case you were wondering the same thing!

Here are my rapid-fire answers to the questions I get most:

1) Do I need experience?​
No. Zero to Hero is built for beginners (and writers looking for a solid refresher). I’ll teach format, structure, and simple workflows - along with plenty of great examples.

2) What if I don’t have the perfect idea for a script yet?​
​You don’t need one. Week 2 turns sparks into a workable concept. We'll figure it out together!

3) What if I fall behind?​
Assignments are small and focused. Miss a session? You’ll get access to the entire recorded session in your inbox, and full support from me and the rest of the students in our private group.

4) Will my first draft be any good?​
First drafts are supposed to be messy. The win is finishing. By the time week 12 rolls around, we'll have gone over your work many times. The rewrites are where the real fun starts!

5) Is this live or pre-recorded?​
​Live every week for 12 weeks. Small group. Hands-on coaching.

Want to finally stop guessing and start writing with confidence? This is your moment.

We start Sunday, Sept 21 @ 2pm MST.

Hi Reader, I just got back from Los Angeles, where my feature film Contamination had its world premiere at the Southern California International Film Festival - and wow, what a trip. I was joined by three incredible collaborators: David Heacock, my co-director Preston Ewasiuk, our producer Tyler Sabourin, one of our lead actors Together, we spent three whirlwind nights soaking up every bit of movie magic that LA had to offer. Our screening took place in Glendale, CA, and it was surreal seeing...

Hi Reader, This week is a huge milestone for me - my feature film Contamination is having its world premiere in Los Angeles at the Southern California International Film Festival. To say I’m excited would be an understatement. This project started as an idea in my head - a “what if?” moment - and now it’s about to play in front of a live audience in the heart of the film industry. Hollywood. The place we all imagine when we think of big screens, popcorn, and movie magic. What makes it even...

Hi Reader, If you’ve been thinking about joining Zero to Hero: Screenwriting for Beginners, but you're still on the fence, I get it. Making the leap from wanting to write a screenplay to actually committing can feel big. Here’s the thing: you don’t need to have the perfect idea, tons of free time, or years of experience to start. You just need a willingness to show up once a week, take in the lessons, write a little bit, and let me and your classmates support you through the process. By the...
