Since 1999, Act One, Inc. has been successfully identifying, training, and offering professional support to the next generation of Christian artists and professionals. The keynote initiative of Act One has been an intense four-week scriptwriting workshop that includes skill training, study of the screen art form, mentorships with established industry professionals, and prayer and fellowship with other writers. Held in Los Angeles each summer, the program has also been taken to other cities, including Chicago, New York, and Washington DC.
The program curriculum covers everything a writer needs to know to enter into the business of film and television in a professional and competitive way, while providing special tools for Christians concerned with creating entertainment that will foster in viewers an encounter with God, a sense of connection with others, and deeper knowledge of self.
Now, their services are expanding to include programs not only for writers, but also for executives, directors, and producers, all designed to provide special tools for Christians concerned with creating Godly entertainment that will have a lasting positive influence on society and the world. This long-term strategy for cultural renewal is both powerful and effective, as is evidenced by the success of the Act One writing program.
