Confused about joining UCLA Professional Screenwriting

I'm confused about whether I should join the online UCLA Professional Screenwriting Program or not.

I've read quite a few books on screenwriting, like *Into the Woods*, *Poetics*, *Save the Cat*, etc. I feel like I have a fairly good understanding of how stories work and how they're structured.

My problem is not really the theory. I struggle with taking a good idea and turning it into a 120-page screenplay. I find it difficult to sustain the idea for that long and figure out what scenes should come next.

From what I've heard, the UCLA program helps by forcing you to write regularly and by having you workshop your work and exchange ideas with other writers. That sounds useful because I think what I'm missing is the actual process of developing an idea into a full screenplay.

But the program costs around $6,750, which is a lot for me once converted to my local currency. So I'm really unsure if it's worth spending that much.

Would love to hear what you think. Is a structured program like UCLA worth it for this particular problem, or are there cheaper ways to get the same kind of practice, feedback, and accountability?
