I really learned from this course, and I have found my interest in screenwriting has popped up again, thanks to what has been taught to me. I did not know Spec Scripts were a thing, as I was just writing as a hobby and would do them like Production Scripts, so I'm happy to learn I don't have to put camera angles in the script I will - hopefully - be selling in the future. Thank you for making this course. Hopefully this will help me get the breakthrough I need.
