Jamey Durham's The Story Arena

“During my Master’s program, he [Professor Durham] was my instructor on multiple courses, helping me with writing, creative development and in guiding my ability as a screenwriter and future director. Professor Durham is a caring, interesting, hard-working creative, and organized instructor. It has been a pleasure working with him, and, moreso, gaining insight through his experience and skills under his instruction. An important aspect of Professor Durham’s interactions with students is his availability to answer questions; his interest in my work as a student; and his ability to provide just the right amount of structure yet allow some independence creatively. I personally have benefited from taking classes from Professor Durham and highly recommend his screenwriting class. ”

“Jamey is an amazing teacher! He's fun, intuitive, innovative, and so full of wisdom! What makes learning under him so great is the different approach he has. He gives so many opportunities to have hands on experience and that's so worth the time and experience! If you get the chance to take a class with him, do it! You'll learn so much (both formal textbook and experiential industry information), and you'll have so much fun and laugh a lot!”

“There are people in the business who write copy and there are story tellers. Story communicated in a way that moves people is the gold in writing. Merging story effectively with visuals, people, and relationships is what Jamey does best.”

“Prof Durham's classes were some of the best I've taken. I learned so many valuable writing tips and tricks that have made me a better writer in the long run. I always found his teaching style engaging, and he always had time for his students. ”
