"Kathryn Burnett's course was the perfect introduction to screenwriting – a series of absorbing, entertaining and provocative sessions which made the intricacies of the art seem logical and accessible. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who has a curiosity about screenwriting - I left the course energised and informed, and ready to write."
Duncan Greive – Critic/Journalist

"Kathryn Burnett is the bombdiggity. She brings amazing experience, intelligence, and passion to her teaching. She has a comprehensive understanding of movies, cinema history, and storytelling technique, and is effective and engaging when sharing that knowledge with her students. Kathryn is to storytelling tutors as Carlos the Jackal is to international assassins. I can't recommend her highly enough."

Steve Barr - screenwriter, producer, and development executive


“Kathryn Burnett’s “Beginners Guide to Screen-writing Workshop” was a fascinating and valuable learning experience for participants of the course recently held on the University of Waikato’s Tauranga campus; her vast knowledge of the screen industry, along with its requirements of the screenwriter, were effortlessly conveyed by her clear/dynamic tutoring style. Participants valued the generous manner in which Kathryn shared her knowledge. As an adult community education coordinator of many years, I would rate Kathryn Burnett as one of the most dynamic tutors I have ever seen.”
