I was nervous about a 30-day course, but it's brilliantly broken down into manageable components with enough variety in the delivery of content to appeal to all types of learners. I love the final assignment where it's all put together. I have worked out many more details of the screenplay than I first realised and would recommend the course to others.

This is a very worthwhile class to take. Learning how to build meaning at several levels of storytelling has made it possible for me to revise my existing scripts and incorporate the meaning that was missing until I learned these techniques. I highly recommend this class if you're unsure how to get deeply profound meaning into your scripts.
Eric Humble
I took this class to help understand how to write transformational journies for my characters. Not only did it give me those skills, but it also offers true insight into how to tell relatable stories with true power. It has changed the way I write and think about writing…for the better!

The movie examples and Hal's analyses were spot on. The layering process for creating transformational characters was the most helpful for me, as I've struggled with this forever. I think I've got it down now. Yay! I have a couple of screenplays I intend to rewrite using this process to make them more profound. Thank you!
Deb Johnson
I started with a vague idea and ended with a solid outline. Every assignment encouraged me to not be "perfect" but to go with a best guess - which gave me the freedom to keep moving forward. Many of the assignments also challenged me as a writer and I was surprised how, in the end, everything came together.

By taking a course about writing a script using the Profound Script Map, it has added clarity to my script definition, organization, and quality. The Profound content development into the Map is not the only benefit I am getting from this course. The details in the course drive my rewriting before I am finished. I find myself cutting out extraneous material that I never needed. Thank you.

Often times, I've experienced different ways of teaching. Thanks to Hal and his way of teaching, I found myself breaking through after 1/4 of the class! Hal has a way of giving and then explaining how to apply the lessons he offers. He makes things clear to me and I understand the reasons behind the lessons. Makes perfect sense and clarity. Thank you Hal and Cheryl
The class is wonderful. It actually is a great class to take before the 30 Day Scriptwriting class and Subtext class too. The course basically facilitates mapping out your story...(Story Mapping) and adding layers and depth in ways a newby like myself would not think to do. I wound up with a 26 page map to success!
