There are moments in your life when you have to step back and ask whether what you’re experiencing is truly real. Such is the case with Craig T. Williams. Over the years, he has invested so many hours into my work that it feels like he’s read more drafts of my scripts than I’ve written.

Under Craig’s guidance, my projects have premiered at Tribeca, won Best Web Series at the ABFF, become finalists for the SFFILM Rainin Screenplay Fellowship, and received a grant from the Sundance Institute. What fuels Craig’s success as both a writer and a mentor is his deep understanding that great stories don’t stem from formulas, rules, or dogma, they’re forged through an alchemy of confidence, craft, and commitment.

His notes reflect not only his exceptional ability to listen, but also his rare talent for seeing where your story can go if you build your discipline, trust your voice, and as Craig always reminds you, “stand in your power.”

Craig has been a career-long source of inspiration, support, and creative clarity. Since we began working directly together six years ago, I haven’t created a single piece he hasn’t looked over. I trust his instincts completely. He understands my voice and never tries to change it—he amplifies it. At the end of the day, Craig wants one thing: for you to tell a truly great story.

I went to Craig for script notes because I trusted his cultural sensitivity and maturity—and he absolutely delivered. My story deals with adult, potentially triggering material, and Craig approached it with professionalism and respect. His insights were thoughtful, his suggestions organic, and he never undermined my creative instincts. It was a supportive session. Thanks, Craig!

I highly recommend Craig as a screenwriting coach. He is really supportive and great to work with. He offers a lot of guidance and tips on developing your story, is honest with you about what works and what doesn’t. I definitely credit my weekly meetings with Craig as part of the reason for my success with my first feature screenplay!

“Having Craig as a writing teacher is one of the best choices I’ve ever made. He helped alleviate my fear of the blank page with his encouragement, laughter, and concrete tools. He does what truly great mentors do - to see right past your jittery feelings, get to the core of where you excel, and brings that to the forefront. He dives in with full commitment to your potential, and through draft after draft, supports the best version of your work.”

Craig played a vital role in the development of Young N’ Reckless. He stepped in when we thought our script was perfect. He challenged every idea we had. He convinced me to cut my favorite scenes. These were blessings because when I go back and read old drafts, I can tell I was a new writer. Craig helped us take our project from script to the screen and, most importantly, gave two actors the confidence to call themselves writers.

Recently, I was asked by a Network to present a script after I had pitched my idea to them. Craig gave me feedback that made sense! He helped me think through the structure of the script, the NEED of the character, and even corrected some of my formatting...He proposed solutions that fixed a couple of the problems that my script had. This is a testimonial, but it’s also my ALERT call...If you don’t know what the big deal about CRAIG is, now you know! Red Wall productions is an excellent resource for your entertainment needs. Thanks again Craig. From the bottom of my heart.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to Craig T. Williams for an AMAZING script consult this weekend. Screenwriters: if you’re looking for honest, straightforward, thoughtful notes from someone who wants to enable you make your script better, Craig is your man. He takes the time to read and understand your script/story/characters, asks questions AND will give you clear notes (in the form of a meaningful conversation) that you can actually use to solve script problems. Besides being an excellent script consultant, Craig is a helluva writer, a good communicator, a grown-ass man and a smart, funny, perceptive person with a positive heart. Check. Him. Out. #notagame

CRAIG! I’m actually on a high from our meeting. THANK YOU so much for taking the time to read, process and share your insights with me... it’s so rare to find artists that not only have talent, but have heart - and you....have that in Spades.

Marc Santa-Maria - Actor/Writer/Producer

Craig is one of the MOST talented screenwriters I have come across.  His work is thoughtful, nuanced, and tear jerking, hilarious!  There has not been a script he has written where I have not laughed out loud (literally), despite its content.
