A Son’s Gratitude: How Screenwriting Sparked a Family Dream

Student Success Story: Kimberly Veasey

I recently received a beautiful, unsolicited letter that encapsulates the spirit and drive I see in many of my students. This recommendation comes not from the student herself, Kimberly Veasey, but from her son, Dominic, and I’m honored to share it.

“To Don Vasicek,

I am writing this to thank Don for teaching my mother, Kimberly Veasey, the techniques of screenwriting. His instruction has truly helped her elevate her work.

My mother possesses a beautiful and strong mindset, fueled by knowledge, courage, and wisdom. She is making a real difference through her writing, approaching her screenplay with a powerful and brilliant perspective.

Seeing the impact of this work is inspiring. She is an amazing person who is currently focused on helping me succeed, including ensuring I can attend college in Bloomington, Indiana, next year. Her dream is to ultimately live and work in Malibu, California.

I believe in the quality of the screenwriting guidance Don provides, and I can attest to the difference it has made in my mother’s creative life and confidence. I hope her powerful story continues to inspire others as much as she inspires me.”
