15-Week Online Television Pilot Workshop

Overview

Learn How to Write a Television Pilot

Creating a television series requires more than just a script; it requires creating a web of characters, a fully-realized world, a sustainable story engine and a specific voice for your series. In this 15-week online workshop, students already familiar with television format and structure (who either took Television Spec Workshop or have submitted a TV script to demonstrate command of the form) will learn how to write a television pilot. Students will come up with ideas for possible TV series and, working with their instructor and class, will pick one to develop. Students create a series proposal and show bible that details the world, characters and themes of their series, and then will break down the story of the pilot before writing a script for that pilot.
