Hollywood Medic Seminar

Get insight from an insider who knows.

A two day crash course on how to write for Hollywood. Taught by M.D. Yearwood in Los Angeles and New York City monthly. Yearwood teaches what film schools neglect to teach - How to prepare for SUCCESS in Hollywood.

Learn how to be a working screenwriter

Not everyone learns the same way and as a result M.D. Yearwood takes an individual approach to each seminar. Participants are asked to fill out a screenwriting questionnaire before class and to either mail or email your questionnaire to Hollywood Medic. It is important to fill in the questionnaire honestly and to give as much detail as possible when filling it out.
