"Thanks for a great class!
The handouts were gold.
Because of this class, I'm
holding a ticket to Cannes in
my hands."
-Troy Perry

Maneuvering FIlm Festivals   
student)
"The 'Creating A Production
Company' class taught by
Rona Edwards and Monika
Skerbelis is great.  Rona &
Monika are founts of
information on  Hollywood.  
The class is a must for
those serious about making
it in the biz both in LA and
out."
- Boris Layupan
Creating A Production
Company, Student
"As an independent producer it can
be intimidating to navigate the
stormy waters of development. ESE
gives you the tools and know-how
to confidently throw your hat in the
ring, as well giving you the
fundamental understanding of
production company infrastructure
to give your projects the backbone
they deserve."
-Randall Rosa, Celtic-Rose Ent.
Creating a Production Company,
student
"Last year, I produced a
short film that was rejected
from every festival I entered.
 When I saw a free seminar
at the Writer's Store on
"Maneuvering Film
Festivals," I hoped it would
give me an edge to at least
get accepted to a festival.  I
learned more in that hour
seminar from Rona Edwards
and Monika Skerbelis than I
ever imagined!  I signed up
for their ESE FILM
WORKSHOPS ONLINE
course and bought their
book, "I liked It, Didn't Love It
(Screenplay Development
From The Inside Out)."   
What a wealth of
information!  I followed their
suggestions and got into 8
festivals, with 4 awards and
recognitions.  At one of the
festivals, I met a producer
who asked for a feature
length version of my short.  I
knew where to go for expert
consultation.  Seeking Rona
and Monika's consultation, I
was able to get my script
written, from treatment to
final draft, in 6 weeks and
win "Best Television Movie
Script" in the first festival I
entered.  My script is
currently in pre-production.  
Couldn't have done it without
the help of Rona Edwards &
Monika Skerbelis. Thanks,
ESE"

Are YOU ready for Hollywood?
Rona and Monika are great! I
learned development process
through their seminar. They have
the contacts, knowledge and movie
business smarts to really help
students get to know the Hollywood
system. I'd highly recommend them
for seminars, workshops and
especially for screenplay notes.
Because of their class, I was able to
get my project a producer."

Edwards and Monika Skerbelis who
were my instructors in Feature Film
Development ...you should know this
class and Ms. Edwards and Ms.
Skerbelis delivered above and
beyond my best expectations. I
walked away from this class
smarter, better prepared, informed
and educated,and more passionate
about my goals than ever before.  
Any success I achieve in this field,
and I intend to be successful, will be
in large credit to these two amazing  
teachers."

"Monika and Rona share
generously and freely from
about film development.
rather clueless, and perhaps
a little suspicious, of the
whole process, but now I
can really see the value of
breaking down a story. It
demystifies the components
of a good story and clarifies
the problems in a bad. And
they were really
inspirational and supportive
of all my story ideas,
whether they were original
or based on existing
material, and that made me
believe that maybe I can
really do this, maybe I'm a
pretty good story-teller."
- Marianne Hansen,
Filmmaker

Rona and Monika's knowledge and
instruction improved my story
development skills and opened
opportunities that I otherwise
would not  have had the privilege
to benefit from.  It was so
rejuvenating, I wish there were
more producers like them!"
- Beth McElenny, Filmmaker
What an eye-opening hour I had
tonight at your workshop!  Really, I
now have ideas on how to come up
where before I had zilch.
