– Jeno Hodi, director – screenwriter – producer, director of the Budapest Film Academy

It’s a great honor for us that Karol Hoeffner has accepted our invitation to give lectures to our students.
Karol has already taught at BFA previous courses and had sensational classes that the students really enjoyed. That is why we are glad that we will now have two lectures held by her as part of our masterclass series.
Karol Ann Hoeffner is the Graduate Director of Screenwriter and Assistant Professor for Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles where she oversees two program tracks: Writing for the Screen and Writing and Producing for Television. Before coming to LMU, she worked full-time as a screenwriter in Hollywood where she wrote numerous original movies as well as novel adaptations for television mini-series and movies-of- the-week. Karol also wrote several successful novels.
The classes will be on Wednesdays and Thursdays between May 25 and June 9 at 10:00-13:00.
