Jake is an amazing teacher. Many are good at their craft but unable to share it. He does it with a warm, interactive style that made the class fun and interesting.

I haven't been this inspired in ages. Jacob made the course work and eventual worth of the screenplay seem like something that I knew I should do but didn't know how to finish.

I have been around writing for a very long time from many perspectives, have degrees in writing and so on and within the first 15 minutes of class I started hearing things from Jacob that I had never heard anywhere. He is a brilliant teacher and the kind of person you just want to be around because I know he is changing not just my writing but my life in ways that I still have not even fully realized yet.

This is a great class for dispelling your fears as a writer and setting goals to tackle your next big project. He gives you the foundation to writing a good screenplay (movement, format, structure) and the habits you need to make it happen. What happens next, however, is up to you.

Jess is incredibly engaging and entertaining, making the concepts easy to digest and learn. If you're struggling to break out of your rational thinking mind while writing, this would be a great course to take.
