Write Your Drama Pilot in Six Weeks
Television pilot writing was once a carefully
guarded inner sanctum limited almost exclusively to showbiz
insiders. With the recent explosion of successful cable dramas and
Internet viewing, it’s now possible for writers without a strong
track record or network connections to get producers and executives
to read and sometimes even buy their pilot scripts. If you sell a
pilot, you’ve reached the pinnacle of TV writing success. It’s
extremely satisfying to see your brainchild come to life on the
screen, and it can lead to an extremely lucrative career in
writing, production, or “show-running.” In this workshop, you will
learn the tools professional screenwriters use to finish
high-quality scripts under deadlines. By the end of this workshop,
you will have completed and received professional feedback on a
completed script for your drama pilot.
