SECRETS OF THE SUCCESSFUL CAMERA PERFORMANCE

testimonials

"(My writing partner) and I spent a couple of hours working through our draft script (THE WAKE UP CALL) with Colleen. The insight Colleen provided was great. She walked us through page by page and provided feedback on how the dialogue would work for the actors, what to look for in terms of casting given who the characters are and lots of tidbits on approaches to directing. Our session with Colleen provided good practical information coupled with lots of positive feedback that has helped fuel our project."

"Colleen added Craft to my concept, taking my first short film script to the next level. Walking through the script with her, I'm sure I gained more insight into screen writing than any weekend workshop or lecture could offer. And everything I learned, I'll apply to subsequent projects."

Mia Stark, writer/director Vancouver, BC
