How to Get Christian Themes Green-lit:
Practical Insights from a Hollywood Screenwriter

Hi Dylan, we hope you''ve been enjoying the free content like our Crash Course in Storytelling and the Impacting Culture Speaker Series!

We continue to add new content regularly, and wanted to let you know about our newest video, a lecture from our adjunct professor Bill Marsilii. Bill is a Hollywood screenwriter who co-wrote D?j? Vu (starring Denzel Washington and Jim Caviezel) which sold for a record $5 million and remains the highest-selling spec script of all time.

Our students really enjoyed his talk, and we think you will too!
