- If all you know is three-act structure, the Mini-Movie Method will be a REVELATION! A thousand times easier, a million times better!
  
  —Adam Renfro, One Slack Martian Screenwriting Blog
- I wrote my last screenplay through Chris Soth’s mentorship program. Chris developed the movie with me from idea through multiple drafts and then got it read by a management company he works with — now that company’s representing the screenplay in the marketplace and consistently getting considers with everyone loving the concept!

- I really feel you got everything I was trying to do and took it to a higher level. I’m so happy to have met you and joined your program — I really needed a mentor, and this is a real gift.
  
  —C. Britton, Screenwriter
- I’m a produced screen and TV writer but I was looking to learn more and get better. I was intrigued by Chris’ approach using the Mini-Movie method. It’s a great way to breakdown and develop a story, especially across the treacherous second act.
  
  —Rob Stork, Screenwriter
- Chris Soth’s ebook, DVDs, teleseminars and mentorship program have helped me hone my craft as a screenwriter, learn how to pitch to the big studios AND produce my own low-budget scripts. Chris’ mini-movie method makes it easy to generate interesting high-concept stories, develop compelling characters and create tension on every page!
  
  —Jeffrey Borrowdale, Screenwriter
- From the first teleseminar I listened to with Chris, where he outlined basic screenwriting structure and discussed the importance of hope vs. fear, I knew his instruction was exactly what I needed. His excellent ebook on the Mini-Movie Method is full of brilliant, useful, practical information that will benefit any storyteller.

  —Wes Haviland
- I’m a semi finalist for the Kairos Film contest for my screenplay “Valentine.” I must give you lots of thanks because it was your mini movie method that I used to help with my rewrites! Thanks for all your wonderful help!
  
  —Carol Paur, Screenwriter
- Before the Mini-Movie Method, I wrote on my own with little to no results. In the last year and a half of being mentored by Chris I’ve written four screenplays. Three of the four have been optioned. My writing is better for it. Ditch the books, stop wasting time and get Chris as your mentor.
  
  —Rolando Vinas, Screenwriter
- I just finished reading the Million Dollar ebook and found it most informative, and entertaining. Thank you very much for this!
