Act One Summer Programs – Applications Now Being Accepted!

Summer Screenwriting Program

The Act One Screenwriting Program trains talented Christians for careers as mainstream
film and television writers.  The program takes place in the heart of the Hollywood entertainment industry
with intensive classroom instruction and mentoring from a world-class faculty of over 50 top-notch
TV and movie writers, agents and producers.  Among those you will learn from include Hollywood pros
like Dean Batali (That 70s Show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Scott Derrickson (The Exorcism of
Emily Rose), Monica Macer (Lost, Prison Break), Bill Marsilii (Déjà Vu) and
David McFadzean (Home Improvement, What Women Want).

“Act One helps the Christian writer overcome the temptation to ignore or
oversimplify the arduous task of integrating faith and creativity.  It provides
not only a serious investigation into the art and craft of screenwriting, but
also a challenge to think deeply about content.”
     – Scott Derrickson, writer/director, The Exorcism of Emily Rose
