“Jack was extremely encouraging. He set the tone for a very supportive atmosphere among the students. He gave EXCELLENT feedback. He was very down-to-earth and approachable.”
“He was such a good listener, he gave honest feedback that made everyone's projects better. He is very bright, with a witty sense of humor. However, he was so good at morphing into whoever's comedy voice he needed to at any time.”
“I think Jack was good about finding things that weren't working without making it seem like your idea was bad. He validated your overall idea by finding stuff that could make it more clear.”
“His ability to give quick, smart pitches/feedback on a variety of different concepts impressed me. He also taught me new verbiage I hadn't heard of before, and I've even worked in writer's rooms. A+ experience all-round.”
“My last class with Jack Kukoda was FANTASTIC!!! I can’t praise him enough for guiding my ideas and attempts at writing a script to a MUCH stronger and more professional script.”
“He was very supportive of each person's material, encouraging, and honest about the state of the industry. He created a positive space for class discussion and was generous with his time.”
“He's terrific about giving insightful and deeply helpful notes in a way that's neither harsh nor pandering. I always knew that if I was off-course, I could count on Jack to call it out in a respectful way and then get a conversation going in the class that would inspire & motivate me.”
