TESTIMONIAL

“I have taken a few writing classes now, but by far Trevor L. Smith has been my favorite teacher. Trevor has a spark of magic in the way he teaches. It is clear that he has a deep passion for the craft and helping others. He teaches with such joy and passion that you can’t help but look forward to the next class. He delivers the information in a clear manner and is happy to answer any questions his students throw at him. He has renewed my love of writing.” - Diana L.

TESTIMONIAL

"Trevor L. Smith is truly one in a million. When I started attending his classes for screenwriting and producing this year, Trevor immediately welcomed me and made me feel like a part of the family. His energy and passion for filmmaking made his classes exciting and engaging, and he freely gave the students his books and other resources at no charge. I have two of Trevor’s publications: The EEEasy Approach to Great Storytelling and Screenwriting and Outlining Novels and Screenplays: 7-Step EEEasy Approach Workbook for Novels, Feature Films, and Television Screenplays. I believe these books are classics and should be in every filmmaker’s library. I am a published author, but I can honestly say that my writing has gone to the next level under the tutelage of Trevor L. Smith.

Another service that Trevor provides is coverage, which is a type of review and critique. He read my screenplay and gave me overall ratings in several categories: premise, plot, setting, characters, dialogue, story structure, screenplay formatting, conflict, theme (message), spelling/grammar, marketability, readability, and budget. Then he added detailed notes to each of the 121 pages of my screenplay, totaling 283 comments. It was the first time I received such thorough coverage from an individual or company that provides this service. After reading Trevor’s comments, all of which were positive, I was quickly able to edit and revise my screenplay. Trevor also met with me to go over his review of my work and allow me to ask questions. This entire process was a learning experience that enabled me to push beyond the limits I had created for myself. Trevor’s critiquing style and positive affirmation made me believe I could produce the film myself.

I love everything that Trevor is doing at Legacy Street. His theme of “A better you, a better me, a better world” perfectly reflects the organization’s many humanitarian accomplishments and aspirations as well as the heart of Mr. Trevor L. Smith, whom I applaud and support every step of the way." Pauline Williams, Ph.D.
