HOLLYWOOD IMPACT STUDIOS – News & Updates


Pencils down! Our first writing program is done. Derek and John covered screenwriting, magazine writing and how to write a short story. Now that the class is done, our inmate/students have an opportunity to enter a screenwriting contest. Today is the deadline to turn in their scripts. Prizes will be awarded the first week in January.

Hollywood Impact Studios is off for a two week Christmas break. Merry Christmas to all from Gary, Cyndi and all of the Hollywood Impact Studios Team.

HOLLYWOOD IMPACT STUDIOS – News & Updates


After we’d already started our second semester, many of our student/inmates asked if we could offer a writing class. We didn’t know how we were going to pull that one off. But God provided! We’re excited to report that in conjunction with the ministry, 168 Film Project (www.168project.com), John Ware and Derrick Warfel came onboard and are teaching (4) two-hour writing classes. Their class will cover script writing as well as short story writing and magazine writing. Our guys are very pumped about the classes… Much thanks to John Ware and Derrick Warfel.
