The MFA Chronicles

Back in the saddle!

My second year in the Point Park University MFA Screenwriting & Playwriting program started on Monday, August 30, 2021. Here’s a list of my classes and associated syllabi:

MWSS 620 Thesis I

MWSS 630 Writing Landscapes

MSWW 635 History of American Screenwriting

It’s going to be a brutal but rewarding year. I talked about this at length on my latest episode of the Raff’s Brain podcast.

Over the summer, I participated in the week-long residency for a class called Writers’ Room, taught by the legendary Rick Hawkins. As a class, we co-wrote the pilot episode for a show called Old School, a concept created by my brilliant classmate, Johanna Philips.

Rock and roll!
