"At Camp in July, I looked at my screenplay from a whole new perspective, with the help of my mentors. I had time to rework my story structure and create a new outline. I returned to New Jersey with a new and promising outlook of my screenplay. In September, I had my first real option! Painting Entertainment optioned my screenplay THE ART OF DECEPTION."

"I came to Idyllwild expecting to learn more about the craft of screenwriting. What I got was far greater…I learned about my own craft and how I write. I learned the basics of screenwriting at college, but I learned the guts and the glory at Idyllwild."
