STORY WORKSHOP STUDENTS
"The explanation of the three-act structure was utterly fascinating, as was the use of different movies to illustrate these structural definitions. I enjoyed the day enormously and thought you were just wonderful. My knowledge and understanding of films was expanded enormously, and many things I understood instinctively but had never heard articulated about the art of storytelling were nailed firmly in place. It was fantastic!"

"Karel's course is excellent. It finally sunk in, having studied structure twice previously with high calibre teachers. Karel delivers crucial basics, sound models and advanced techniques that work. Thank you Karel for sharing your extensive knowledge."

crap and ensures we get on with progressing the story.Normally I'm not much
of a classroom person - but today felt like it lasted half an hour - it was
extremely valuable.

"I came to you with a bunch of scenes in the hope of finding a story and when I look back I'm still surprised at how far we have come. Now the script has won the 2007 Monte Miller award. Thanks again Karel. I'll get to work on another oddly thrown together bunch of characters and give you a call. I know you love a challenge. Cheers. (>read the full testimonial)
