Hi, my name is John Vanderberg.
I’ve written two scripts and have two more marinating beneath the surface.
I’m taking this class because I’m challenging myself to learn how to write supporting characters with more depth and agency. Everything in the description of this class, the intro with the Devil Wears Prada example, and the exercise Hal demonstrated afterwards, has me even more excited for what I hope to take away and put to good use.
Something unique/interesting about me is that I’ve been writing on and off for over 20 years, but never made the commitment to go “all-in.” We’ve raised a large family and made a career in advertising sales. I’m now living vicariously through my oldest son, who studied film and is living in LA to pursue his Hollywood dreams. His goal is to be IN a movie. My goal is to write, sell and be part of MAKING a movie. Cheers! -
Hello, my name is Frank E Legette III. I’ve written two features and a number of shorts. In fact, I’m also a director and I’m in the process of directing a short that I’m shooting for my church. After that script, my next short that I will write, direct, and produce is entitled “Headstrong.” After Headstrong, I will write a feature tentatively entitled “Hypocrisy.”
I hope to learn how to write better characters. I especially want to get better at identifying the character traits of my characters.
I truly cherish every class that I take from Hal and Cheryl. They are without a doubt, in my humble opinion, the very best in the business.
