Workshops

Check out my conversation with screenwriter Michael Jamin on his podcast for writers.

“Having taught screenwriting and filmmaking for the past decade at such schools as Loyola Marymount University, NYFA, Cal State Fullerton, Harvard Westlake and currently at The Lee Strasberg Institute what I say to my students is to trust yourself! The craft of screenwriting can be taught but the magic of visual storytelling is a spiritual journey!” Christina Beck

Testimonials

“Christina is, quite simply, the most empowering, intuitive writing teacher I’ve ever worked with. By asking the right questions, engaging her students at deeper, more nuanced levels, and by guiding the class conversations with a delicate, skillful hand, Christina offers her students the safety, freedom, and confidence necessary to bring their stories into the world.”

Geoffrey Watson, writer

“I loved working with Christina and she taught me so much about writing. She is all at once inspiring, insightful and so knowledgeable.”

Jill Scholen, actress, writer

“Christina, it was a pleasure to
be in your class. I found your class
soothing and refreshing. If only every
space was as safe and healing as
your class there would be so much
positivity in the world. I learned to be
a better filmmaker but more
importantly learned to be a better
human. Thank you for having us.
Hope you inspire many more
filmmakers.”

 “Despite my negative attitude and language difficulties in the classroom, you managed to provide us with informational and motivational lessons. I never doubted your teaching and I really want you to know how much I appreciate the chance you have given us to make our own film with the provided freedom of expression. As I continue to unravel my true passion in life, as I continue my journey of self-exploration, as I continue to walk down this path of uncertainty, I will never forget this experience and although I am merely an amateur filmmaker, I promise that I will continue to pursue this passion of mine. Thank you for the lessons and most important of all, thank you for being an inspiration. I am honored to meet you, Ms. Christina Beck”
