About Miles
I’ve been writing shorts and features for 10 years. I’ve won awards at Oscar-tier festivals internationally including Tribeca and even top placement in the Academy Nicholl fellowship. I take great pride in the feedback I give every week, every year. Very passionate about teaching my students how to take their script to screen, and to make things they can get made and get out there. Screenwriting is the blueprint. To make it, you’ve got to make it. If you’re interested in making work you can sell, we will polish your work up and get it to A tier. If you want to get it made, we will talk strategy and how to plan your path forward in the complex world of filmmaking today.

Take your short or feature script to the next level from a guy whose work goes places. I’ll even give advice on how to get it produced yourself. I’ve been teaching for a decade and love to see a win.

Things we can do: --Brainstorm --Workshop your current stage of your idea, at any stage. --Learn proper, industry formatting and software. --Refine a fine or even final draft. --Learn to pitch your project. --Learn next steps for getting your project seen. --Mentorship on how to avoid pitfalls, recognize bad advice. --Review your produced film's edit. --Learn next steps for how to get a film out there in 2023.

I have known Miles for almost 10 years now. He helped me make one of my first movies. He has never once shied away from being blunt about my scripts. We both feel that honest feedback is the best way to learn. I wrote a script years ago that we sat down to go over, and he spent probably 15 minutes on the first page alone. Asking me questions about locations and characters, and giving me advice on things to adjust. This was early in my writing career and my scripts needed a lot of help. I knew from that day, I would ask him to read every script I wrote.
I have always found Miles' advice to be a boost in my creativity and drive. His notes are just the best and the way he sees the world and the industry always makes me feel like I am on the right path.
Miles Levin is the reason for my success in the film industry. As my high school film instructor, Miles was able to draw on his own experiences in the industry to inform his lessons and personalized advice to students. In addition, Miles was happy to offer his own advice on student's passion projects and how to start a career in film.
With no formal film eduction other than by Miles, I have created multiple award-winning short films, as well as a profitable video production business that serves clients across America.Hold onto your popcorn and dream to become a successful screenwriter, bud, and meet Miles, the magical unicorn of filmmaking who can teach you to craft a helluva story, understand the real-world ins-and-outs of the industry and help you guard that brilliant part of yourself when times get really challenging (and I promise you, they will)!
As one of Miles' many students, I can vouch that Miles has been in the trenches for years, and the valuable lessons he learned came with hard-won sacrifice!
As a filmmaker, you'll face a butt-ton of rejection, crippling self-doubt, and be at a loss for what to do next...and that's just the non-craft-related stuff!
Whether it's questions on how to structure your story, humanize your characters, polish up dialogue or worldbuilding, or how screenwriters fit in with the many other professions in the industry (which Miles has first-hand experience with), you'll want Miles' genuine, caring, badass and practical wisdom in your corner!
I can't recommend Miles enough and I constantly seek his advice when it comes to anything story-related! Truly, you will learn so, so much in such an incredibly short time with Miles' help; and you owe it to yourself and characters to have a mentor that not only has LIVED what he's advising, but also cares enough to go above and beyond every step of the way!
Pick Miles, follow his advice, and you'll easily save yourself 5-10 years of needles struggling!
Good luck, my friend, you're in great hands!Miles is a mentor of mine and has truly had an impact on my filmmaking outlook and knowledge. He is eager to teach and share his passion and expertise in storytelling with his students. Miles is extremely reliable, easy to learn from, and is one of the most genuine filmmakers I know. Not only is he a truly talented storyteller and writer but an amazing mentor. I would recommend Miles because he truly CARES and will go out of his way to make you a better creative.
