What People Are Saying...
"Props to you for taking initiative and starting this! I think you have created a really cool concept, and it's something I've never seen before... My congratulations to you, I think it is fantastic that you are following your hearts, and helping other kids discover an outlet in filmmaking."

"I am overwhelmed by your and Shay's initiative and creative spirit. I hope Fountain of Youth Productions goes all the way and beyond...past the stratosphere... I agree with FYP's philosophy, that art through creation is the best thing to inspire youth and prepare them for a productive future. As a sold Hollywood screenwriter, story analyst, and actor, if there is ever anything I can do to help, please let me know. All the best to all involved and I shall look for your first production with great anticipation."

FEEDBACK ON THE SUMMER OF SCREENWRITING PROGRAM FROM PARTICIPANTS
“I have learned so much from this program! I learned how to format a screenplay with the correct headings and titles and I got to explore with loglines and learn about different types of films. Summer of Screenwriting was a really great experience! Thanks so much for this awesome opportunity!”
- Emily B., 15
“Thank you for letting me be a part of this program. I learned a lot over the summer and now have a big interest in screenwriting. [What I liked best about the program was] that where ever I was during the summer, through weekly emails I was able to access online classes to learn screenwriting. I learned about connecting characters properly and how to write a proper climax, plot, etc.”
- Participant
“I liked the tidbits of knowledge that I might not have found otherwise, and the community… I learned how to think in terms of film instead of books, while writing a script.”
