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.
If you want to learn how to make a cinematic lookbook to promote your script and help it get read by the industry by helping them to see’ the movie, sign up for this lab. Not only does the lab cover the elements of a cinematic lookbook, with valuable tips, including where to find the best images, but Max demonstrates how to create one in real time. Invaluable.
