About Me


Act One, Inc. is a nonprofit organization founded to train Christians of all denominations for careers in mainstream film and television. Act One offers the Writing Program for aspiring film and television writers, the Executive Program for aspiring entertainment executives, a Script Consulting Service and nationwide Weekend Seminars in addition to many other programs and services for our alumni and the public.
Stressing artistry, excellence, professionalism, and Christian spirituality, Act One prepares students to pursue careers marked by personal integrity and professional excellence, in writers rooms, on sets, and in studio and network offices. Our goal is not to produce explicitly religious entertainment, but movie and TV projects that respect and serve the global audience, combining mastery of craft with great depth and meaning.
