Dynamic Writing showed me the "Wakanda" of what my script's visuals COULD be. Using concrete examples, the course curriculum provides a thorough blueprint to elevate dynamic writing and banish static scenes. If you have not taken a Max Adams class, run, do not walk!

Mad D. Adams is gifted in transmitting unique screenplay development and screenwriting how-to concepts that every screenwriter and writer should know, whatever their genre or medium. Per Max, verified by myself, Dynamic and Visual Writing teaches visuals and motion creation to better the film or pilot script read for readers. If they can see a movie, they can buy a "the movie." Highly recommended.

I believe BLOOD IN THE BONE, my feature Femmenoir, would never have been selected by the Santa Barbara International Screenplay Awards if I didn't have the brains and support of the AFW screenwriting support group and wisdom of our fearless leader Max Adams.

I’ve taken all of Max’s classes and quite simply, her focused methods and attention to detail blow every other screenwriting class out of the water.

Max Adams has been a keen mentor, champion and cheerleader. Her online classes have provided me with very specific and important screenwriting tools. My short script, Minerva’s War, was a 2014 Finalist at the Lady Filmmakers Film Festival in Beverly Hills as a direct result of learning and applying these techniques.
Tony Ferrendelli

Max Adams has helped to completely transform the way I write scripts. Placement of several scripts in multiple competitions is a direct result of the skills I have developed through participation in Max’s classes and workshop.

Joan Philo
Screenwriter
It’s so big what you are to screenwriting and what you give to others and how you collect and champion writers who do more than write, they produce. That’s huge in this business of writing and what sets you above the rest.
Peter Andrews

If you want to take the next step in your writing, Max makes the difference. She’s hands-on in classes that balance essential skills with insights you won’t get anywhere else.
Stacy Baker Masand

You know that saying, ‘You don’t know what you don’t know?’ That was my experience before taking classes at The Academy of Film Writing. Hands down, my writing transformed more after taking Max’s courses than any other time period or curriculum.

For a screenwriter, Max Adams’ 5150 Workshop is one of the best things you can do to improve yourself and your work. If you’re lucky enough to catch an open spot, TAKE IT!!!
Kristen McNaule
Writer/Director
AFW’s 5150 workshop has given an incredible boost to my writing, thanks to the guidance of Max Adams.
I FINALLY understand why one should use a dynamic/open location over a static location and why and how a static location is used successfully. Max Adams shares a lot of information and examples on how to use location to increase tension and action, using the right locations for your story, what is/is not a location, using language to convey action, and much more. I highly recommend this class!
