"Jeff, you're a great communicator -- you've made it all easy to understand.  [The Essential Screenwriting Workshop] was fantastic!  All the info -- I felt like I was ripping you off!  You've kicked me into gear, and got me excited about locking myself in a small room with a computer, and not looking at internet porn!   I really enjoyed the workshop -- it covered everything I wanted to know, and more.  I'll be recommending everyone."

He has the ability to hone in on my problems and override them. It wasn't a sacrifice to give up my weekend to do this -- it was a pleasure! I've learned a new approach to writing. I enjoyed it thoroughly."

- Amanda Marginson

"I've read books, done a filmmaking degree at uni, and still didn't have a clue about how to write a script. Now, not only am I inspired to write, but I have the building blocks at my disposal. Along with the enormous checklist Jeff hands out.  [The Essential Screenwriting Workshop] is brilliant! Jeff, you've filled my every expectation and pushed me to get writing. That's a hell of a task."

"I'm not sure why Jeff is not a major screen or TV actor -- Great communicator! He absolutely understands the business, as well as people. I didn't know what to expect, but the [Essential Screenwriting Workshop] was exactly as I had hoped. There's NOTHING I didn't like about this workshop, and believe me, I am a cynical prick. If I can pick holes, I'll pick 'em deep. Unfortunately, there were none. Jeff's communication and people skills are exquisite -- By the end of the second day, motivation and self-belief were bouncing off the walls."
