Richard Krevolin is an award-winning screenwriter, author, playwright, and professor. A graduate of Yale University, Richard went on to earn a masters degree in screenwriting at UCLA's School of Cinema-Television, and a master's degree in playwriting and fiction from USC.
For 15 years, from 1989 to 2003, Professor Krevolin taught both undergraduate and graduate screenwriting classes at the number one ranked Film School in the US - USC Cinema/TV School (George Lucas, Robert Zemeckis, Ron Howard, John Singleton and many other filmmakers are graduates of this school). He planned and led courses on basic and advanced fundamentals of visual storytelling, story structure, and screenwriting. Richard also taught English Composition and Writing Across the Genres (Playwriting, Fiction and Poetry). Over 20,000 screenwriters have been taught by Richard in LA and around the world. Under his guidance, his students (many of them are well-known award winning screenwriters now) have gone on to sell film scripts and TV shows to Universal, Fox, Paramount, Dreamworks SKG and numerous other big studios and production companies.
He is the author of Screenwriting From The Soul (St. Martins Press), Pilot Your Life (Prentice-Hall), and How To Adapt Anything Into A Screenplay (Wiley & Sons). All of which are in print and are used at film schools and universities across America.
