I met Cliff in the summer of 2021. At the time I was pretty new to writing only starting the summer before. My parents noticed that I had a knack for it though and as a gift got me screen writing lessons.  To say those lessons changed my life is an understatement. I went on to get accepted into 2 top 5 screen writing programs in the nation along with honing my craft and talent in a way no other teacher could have taught. Because Cliff understands the truth of the art and how the mind wanders. You can’t fully teach it, but if you have the passion and talent he can steer you towards those skills. He is my mentor, my inspiration and he's still my writing teacher 5 years later.
