"Laurie Scheer's classes are a must for anyone wanting to progress in the television industry. After bumping around TV jobs for a few years, Laurie gave me the flashlight I needed to see the whole landscape of opportunities available. Dorky? Yes. But completely true. It's quite unusual to have someone offer to share their experiences, and even more unusual for them to truly want you to succeed. If you need to be convinced that you are capable of writing or creating a show, take Laurie's class."
