“Craig was extremely organized, friendly, and shared his personal experiences. He was positive and brought out the best in everyone's ideas. He was a fantastic teacher!”

“Craig is such a warm and wonderful human. He was super supportive and encouraging throughout the entire process. He offered great insights and guidance as we crafted our ideas into a foundational beat sheet to help move forward with our pilots.”

“I'm so glad I signed up for Craig's class. It really helped solidify all the principles that I hadn't absorbed. Craig was amazingly fast in pinpointing what's great and what's missing. My script will be so much better, as will my next one, thanks to Craig.”
