Advisor Studio: Peter Biegen on the TV Writers' Room
About this Advisor Studio
Advisor Studio sessions feature intimate, moderated conversations with Sundance Advisors who are working artists and media industry professionals that contribute their expertise to the Collab community via courses, classes, office hours and events. In the Studio events, Advisors share field experiences and insights into their specific areas of craft, including writing, directing and producing for TV and film.
Join award-winning screenwriter, playwright, filmmaker and wanna-be alchemist Peter Biegen for an Advisor Q&A Live webinar on October 30. In this intimate conversation, Peter will pull back the curtain on the TV Writers' Room to reveal what happens behind the scenes as seen through the lens of his work on THE MIST – a TV series based on Stephen King’s book of the same name. Learn what happens in the writers' room, how to avoid common mistakes, and skills that will help you find success as a writer of episodic television. Registered participants will be able to post questions during the live session.
