What Students Are Saying...
Wendy F.
After many years of taking classes and reading books on screenwriting, his approach on Story Development and the Craft of Screenwriting is the best I have come across.
David W.
The distinction between, and purpose of, story and storytelling is particularly insightful. I’ve applied the character Want, Need, and Dream analysis to my first script as well as the 3 act sequence structure. This exposed a lot of unnecessary scenes and ordering problems that I hadn’t considered.
Joe M.
On the Fast Track, Jacob takes it to another level. You learn heaps from the videos... [and then] you really learn by applying them into the practice work he gives, which is top-notch.
Charlie R.
Jacob's experience, expertise, and willingness to pass that knowledge along has been crucial to my progress as a screenwriter.
The Fast Track is for YOU....
Learn the skills,
practice the skills,
and move faster toward mastery.
Talk to any producer, and they'll tell you that most of the screenplays they read are BAD.
Be the exception.
Get on the Fast Track.
Two options to choose from.
SPORT includes all of the content. 50+ lessons, 25+ writing exercises, resources to supplement your learning, and you work at your own pace.
TURBO includes everything in Sport, PLUS... BONUS lessons, feedback on some of your assignments, access to the Fast Community, monthly Q&A calls, and a one-on-one conversation when you finish the course.
You can cancel your membership at any time, but you will lose your progress in the course and access to the benefits associated with your membership.

FAQs
-
Can I get access to the Fast Community or the Monthly Q&A calls without a Turbo membership?
The Fast Community and the Monthly Q&A calls are reserved for active Fast Track - Turbo students only.
-
How long do most students take?
Most students take between 7-10 months to complete all course content. You can go through the course faster, but the skills you learn should be practiced, and many students revisit many of the lessons throughout the course.
-
How does the Monthly Membership work?
Your membership, at either the Sport or Turbo level, enables you to access all of the benefits of that level. You'll be charged each month on your anniversary date (so if you join on the 10th, your monthly payments will always be on the 10th). You can cancel at any time, and you can switch between the levels if you like. Keep in mind you may lose any progress when you cancel. And if you decide to cancel your membership, when you decide to enable it again, you will be charged at the current price.
