“Long time listener here. I'm not religious but listening to each episode feels like going to screenwriting church. Afterward I always feel inspired, motivated, and enlightened -- even if translating that feeling to writing is a different story lol. I also attended one of Jacob's panels at...”Read full review »

“Particularly the emphasis he places on ensuring your plot and scenes are driven by character (and your character by needs) has really helped me identify why I was starting to feel, as I neared the end of act 2, that my screenplay had gotten away from me.
I was writing too many scenes in which...”Read full review »
