About Script School

Script School is a mentorship and filmmaking education program for emerging screenwriters and filmmakers who are ready to take their work seriously.

Script School offers honest, hands-on guidance for developing professional screenplays—and dynamic, practical filmmaking programs for youth who want to learn by doing.

We love movies and believe that great stories don’t come from screenwriting books, entering screenplay competitions and reading endless theoretical resources —they come from writers with something to say and live, practical guidance to get them to the finishing block.

We’re here to help you say it well, connect with the right people to move your project forward and get something made!
