TV Writing: From Outline to First Draft of Your Pilot

Intermediate
With: Angela LaManna, Nate Gualtieri and Marg Lester
You’ve got a great idea for a TV series and you have fleshed out an outline for your pilot. Now, it’s time to start writing that script that grabs your reader’s attention - whether it’s an agent, an executive, or a showrunner. In this course you will move from outline to completing a draft of your original pilot (under 60 pages).
