You’ll learn the full known and unknown gamut of screenwriting, guided by the multi- talented actor/writer/director, José (JoJo) Henrickson. After dropping out of a Texas trade school in 1985, JoJo moved to Los Angeles to pursue his career in entertainment. JoJo's diverse background in stage, television, film, improv and stand- up comedy, has enabled him to remain in the business for over thirty five years. He has produced and directed for both local and national Spanish language television; achieving critical acclaim for screenwriting the 2007 Lionsgate release, LADRON QUE ROBA A LADRON. The film, at the time of its release, boasted the largest theatrical release for a Spanish language film in U.S. cinematic history, opening in 341 theaters and is credited as one of the main reasons for the formation of PANTELION, the Panamax Films, Televisa and Lionsgate joint venture.
