“This class was AMAZING. Rochée was a great teacher.”

“So knowledgeable and gave us so much great information. She really broke down all the pieces to crafting a comedy pilot from characters, to story engine, to outline. I feel way more empowered working on my scripts now than before I took the class. I would 100% take the class again (or another class from Rochée and/or the Create Daily). I'm so grateful we have this resource!”
