About this title

About the Author

Jeff Bollow is an independent film producer, acclaimed screenwriting teacher, founder of Screenplay.com.au, Australia's Screenplay Development Centre, and co-founder of New Zealand's Big Mountain Short Film Festival.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Jeff began his film career at age 12. After a twelve year career that included small parts in movies such as Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead, Columbo, and Lost Valley, and behind-the-scenes work on nearly every job on a film production, he moved to New Zealand, and then to Australia, to pursue filmmaking opportunities.

Disappointed by the lack of commercially-viable screenplays in Australia, he founded Screenplay.com.au, and began offering an acclaimed series of screenwriting workshops. When he discovered that his students struggled with the process of writing, he developed the FAST System(tm), to ensure the completion of large and complex projects.
