  • “I've learned the format, a little about the business aspects like treatments, and just feel 100% more confident in myself. I have a short screenplay now! I'm a screenwriter.”

    — Johanna Keller Flores, StorySeeds Fellow 2025

  • “It has been healing. I think I'm used to not receiving constructive feedback that was helpful or someone can help walk me through it or talk to me about it thoroughly. I would also say it's more structured which I do prefer.”
