Los Angeles, CA, January 3, 2012

ScreenwritingU, an award-winning, Los Angeles-based company that provides the highest quality online screenwriting classes, is pleased to announce its official designation as InkTip’s #1 Choice for screenwriting classes. Named one of the best websites for moviemakers by MovieMaker Magazine, InkTip presents screenwriters’ loglines and synopses to 30,000 producers, online and in its print magazine.

 

Jerrol LeBaron, founder and CEO of InkTip, says, "InkTip is proud to endorse ScreenwritingU as our number one choice for screenwriting classes and recommend their top-rated resources and services to our clients."

 

Hal Croasmun, president of ScreenwritingU, says, “I admire what InkTip has accomplished in this industry, so we're truly honored that they have designated us as their #1 choice for screenwriting classes.  Like them, our focus is results.  We conducted corporate training for 15 years before coming to L.A., working with McDonalds, National Car Rental, NASA, Bank of America, Apple, and 125 other major corporations, and those classes were often measured for return-on-investment by the companies we worked with.  So it is natural for us to expect real results out of our classes.   We've applied that same training design to help writers succeed in this industry.”

 

Croasmun has distinguished ScreenwritingU as a leader in providing award-winning online screenwriting classes and career-building opportunities that screenwriters can find nowhere else. During the last ten years, Croasmun has interviewed over 500 Hollywood producers, managers, agents, and A-list screenwriters to design an "Expert Model" of how a screenwriter succeeds in this tough industry.

 

“We have helped over 130 screenwriters break into the movie biz," says Croasmun. "In many cases, reading the contracts they’ve been offered, and guiding them through the process of making deals with producers.” See those deals at http://www.ScreenwritingU.com/buzz

 

ScreenwritingU’s classes combine the convenience of professionally designed online learning and teleconferences with a virtual community of dedicated writers. Information on ScreenwritingU’s scope and variety of avenues for breaking into Hollywood is at http://www.screenwritingu.com.

Steven R. Monroe signed on to direct A Noble Lie, a film that Los Angeles-based production/management company Little Studio Films has put on the development fast track. The film is being co-produced with screenwriter/producer A J Ferrara’s Magic City Pictures.

Monroe directed It Waits, released by Sony Worldwide, and among his other credits, he has directed five TV movies for the SyFy channel. In 2010 he completed the much-anticipated remake of the cult classic I Spit on Your Grave for Anchor Bay.

Alexia Melocchi and Alexandra Yacovlef, the partners of Little Studio Films, were recently profiled in Hollywood Greek Reporter and Video Age Magazine News. They have sold over 100 American movies for theatrical international distribution clients and their company Alexia International Pictures. Melocchi is founder and CEO of Little Studio Films with the mission of creating a bridge between the international film community and American talent. Little Studio Films has just completed production of Stealing Roses, starring John Heard (Too Big to Fail, Entourage, Home Alone).

Ferrara, whom Little Studio Films also manages as a writer, is a graduate of Hal Croasmun’s ScreenwritingU ProSeries and president of Magic City Pictures.

In A Noble Lie a 1950s-era Washington journalist investigates a dangerous trail of murder, greed, and politics that leads to a UFO conspiracy cover-up when she witnesses a meeting between the President of the United States and aliens.

Casting for A Noble Lie will begin in October 2011. The producers will be presenting the project to International Buyers at this year’s AFM.
