Wooden lines can ruin characters and stories. Max knows that, being a Nicholl winner and fellow, not to mention a Hollywood trenches' survivor. She gave me the tools to write dialogue lines that can make actors want to play the roles; that will stop the eyes' rolling after reading corny conversations. A very, very useful course that I was lucky to spot and take.

This was the first class I took from Max and a great start for learning more about screenwriting. Characters drive stories by what they say and do. Dialogue differs from ordinary speech. Creating distinct voices for each character in content, vernacular, length of their sentences, and cadence takes craft. That is what the class teaches, how to make characters pop off the page, alive and kicking.
