The Act One Spring Online Writing for Film Program is an interactive course, focusing on the core aspects of screenwriting -- plot, character, dialogue, conflict, worlds, and theme -- as well as the areas that make screenwriting high-art -- introducing characters in memorable ways, story twists and turns, haunting visual moments and more.
However, Act One’s signature writing program also focuses and challenges students to master the craft of storytelling by moving Audiences through radiance, wholeness, and harmony of beauty.
Led by a working professional Master Teacher, the video classes are supplemented with Skype group writing sessions, writing exercises, creative exercises and more.

Having trained screenwriters since 1999, Act One has a track record for turning out top-notch talent. With an alumni base of film students graduates from the likes of USC, UCLA, and Pepperdine, and alums having worked on films like The Blindside, White Collar, and Arrested Development, Act One is a fertile training ground for those looking to make screenwriting a long and meaningful career.
The faculty is comprised of working writers, producers, executives, and agents, many times stepping off the lot of their current projects, and stepping into our classroom to distill their decades-worth of knowledge to those hungry to get better at the craft.
Act One’s Spring Online Writing for Film program bolts out of the gates with a 5-day intensive workshop, where writers will sit with Hollywood screenwriters, producers, and executives and engage in high-level discussions on film, story, faith and contemporary culture. The Workshop also includes a series of intensive lectures focused on the vision and creativity needed to succeed in the current Hollywood system. In addition, you will be given the chance to connect with the Act One community (700 strong), arguably the most important part of being an Act One student.
From there, the program moves into the 10-week Online Program, where the nuts-and-bolts of screenwriting is explored and developed. When writers come out the other side of the 10-weeks, they can expect to have a better grasp on the Artistry, Professionalism, Knowledge, and Confidence need to thrive in mainstream Hollywood. Additionally, they will have the foundations of a solid feature film outline or treatment and access to the Act One Alumni Programs and a vibrant Creative Community.
