This allows you the freedom to take off and have fun with the writing because the parameters are so clear.”

“He took the time to help with writing roadblocks that I came across. Explained character, structure and other concepts well. His information and feedback was outstanding.”
“Todd is amazing. His pillars for successful tv writers are those I live by, and his structure points are what I use for all my new pilots. He’s punctual, patient and encouraging. He’s the best tv writing teacher I’ve had.”
“He was the best writing teacher I've had and I have taken many classes at other schools.”
“Todd's notes were AWESOME! He was so encouraging, genuinely engaged, constructive, and detailed in his notes. I feel so pumped to implement them and rework/continue working on my script.”
