"Thanks for putting on such a great class...Been growing by huge leaps...Because of your class, I'm holding a ticket to Cannes in my hands"
--Troy Perry (Maneuvering Film Festival Student, April 2007)

"Last year, I produced a short film that was rejected from every festival I entered. When I saw a free seminar at the Writer's Store on "Maneuvering Film Festivals," I hoped it would give me an edge to at least get accepted to a festival. I learned more in that hour seminar from Rona Edwards and Monika Skerbelis than I ever imagined! I signed up for their ESE FILM WORKSHOPS ONLINE course and bought their book, "I liked It, Didn't Love It (Screenplay Development From The Inside Out)." What a wealth of information! I followed their suggestions and got into 8 festivals, with 4 awards and recognitions. At one of the festivals, I met a producer who asked for a feature length version of my short."
--Diana Niles (Maneuvering Film Festivals Student, April 2007)

"I learned a lot and I think all that I have learned will help my career. The class was excellent"
--Danielle Dillard (Creating a Production Company Student, March 2008)

"The best thing about Rona and Monika's "Creating a Production Company" class was its emphasis on the practical. They didn't simply lecture about what we ought to do in order to create a company and put its best foot forward--they obliged us to actually DO it, step by step. Each week's homework assignment was harder than the one before it, but in a good way--by the end of the class I had lists of real people to contact at real studios, precisely targeted to real projects I'm really working on. And all without ever leaving my desk at home (or changing out of my pajamas, for that matter:)"
