"I thought that this course was very enjoyable. It allowed me to use my own ideas when writing a story. At school, we are told what to write about and how long our stories should be. To me that is not writing that comes from my heart. Thank you for letting my voice be important."

Age 16

"What started out as a 3-page extra credit experiment developed into a 28-page screenplay. My high school video teacher never expected this."
