READ WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING AFTER TAKING WRITING CLASSES WITH KEN:
“I had the opportunity to attend a Ken Feinberg screenwriting workshop. Rather than focus solely on screenwriting formats and Hollywood rules, Ken focused on getting our stories out first and foremost. Over the course of a few weeks he helped us take our fragmented ideas and sculpt them into working screenplays. His class was an invigorating experience! Ken's class has kick started my screenwriting development and I can't wait to put all my ideas down on paper!”
- Kevin Harry
I came to Creative Studios of Atlanta and I am so happy I did. The experience was very insightful. Ken Feinberg shared wisdom as a director, actor and writer that I can take with me on my journey as an actor and writer. The information inspired me to be better, dig deeper, and keep reaching to grow.
