Act Four Screenplays

"By taking Dan Calvisi’s classes, one is immediately immersed with a set of like-minded people, all with the same goal of refining the craft of screenwriting. With Dan as expert moderator – the end result is a rewarding interplay of positive and yes, challenging feedback that one can get nowhere else other than from group interaction. I highly recommend Dan Calvisi’s classes for taking your screenplay craft to the next level.”
  -Bob W.

"I'm grateful to find a class that provided the structure and feedback to bring my ideas for writing screenplays to fruition! Dan’s class is a combination of an accessible methodology for screenwriting with on-going enthusiastic oversight and support. It’s exciting to see scripts as they evolve over the class period."
  -Lesley B.

"I’m totally sold on your story map methodology. It’s a great way to get a handle on a story or even figure out if you have one or not, which was what happened with the first map for my last script, i.e. there wasn’t enough story there yet."
-William G.

"Dan, this has really been the most organized writing process I've ever had.  I am rarely able to make myself write a complete outline, so this is an achievement for me."
-Eric Y.

"Dan, you are an inspiring teacher, thank you.  Your deep understanding of this writing process and your insight into everyone's work - it makes it happen! "

"I'd really like to thank Dan and the class for this great experience. It has been a lot of fun working with everyone and having the schedule and accountability really, really helped me to finish the script. I very much enjoyed reading everyone's work and wish everyone the best of luck with their scripts and hope to keep in touch in the future!
P.S. Dan - When is the next class you are going to offer?"

"I liked the fact that it was oriented toward the writing and that it was small and intimate enough that I knew I had to hold my end up."

"You always gave positive reinforcement that made me want to make the script even better."

"The format was really great."

"Personally I like email rather than chats or forums."

"I was very happy with what I accomplished and am still moving forward on this script."

"I felt I really had a handle on what I needed after your input and that of my 'Notes Buddy'."
