  • "A wonderful screenwriting class"

    Review of Nils Osmar, April 05, 2009

    I've taken several classes from Nils at the Wonder school and Experimental College. The most recent one was the screenwriting class, It’s Time to Write Your Screenplay.

    I learned an amazing amount in five weeks, and got lots and lots of practice. The class energized my writing, cleaned up some problems I was having, and gave me focus. The exercises were almost unbelievably helpful, to myself and other students. The feedback was GREAT. I improved a lot and saw tremendous improvement in several other students’ writing, as the course went along.

    Nils’s classes are well-structured, fun and very professional. I recommend this class to anyone who has ever daydreamed about writing a screenplay.
