I traveled to participate in the program and found it invaluable for providing me with discipline, focus, and structure, to complete my writing goals, while still working full time. I had previously participated in workshops and taught creative writing, and I found the level of instruction in the Professional Program in Screenwriting to be outstanding. The instructors were open to writers of multiple genres, and knowledgeable about film. One of the screenplays I wrote during that time placed in two prestigious competitions and the other is being reworked into a short film, scheduled for production.  

After eyeing the UCLA TFT Professional Program in Screenwriting  for years, a California broadcast colleague flat out barked: “Quit talking about it and enroll! No brainer.” Currently landlocked in Missouri, I had reservations about the effectiveness of an online course and the cost. From the first week, I knew this was a quality investment. The program is well structured, the interaction is solid, and I feel welcomed as a fellow UCLA screenwriter. The dream of inking a deal serves as my compass, but I love to write and plan to implement the techniques learned through this program. Write onward.

One of my reasons for attending the Professional Program in Acting for the Camera was to leave feeling comfortable walking onto any set. I accomplished this and so much more! The faculty are incredibly trained, hard working individuals who often wear many hats in the industry. In addition to acting, we explored writing, producing, and pitching ideas, and as a result we are leaving the program well rounded actors who can confidently work in any area of the industry we choose. I am proud to be a part of the Professional Program family!
