Screenwriter
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.
Max is an industry professional and a great teacher, her knowledge, experience, and passion for writing is evident. This class is essential to the craft of writing and Max is the one to learn from; she goes over the building blocks of a logline and works one on one with submitted work.
