Writing
Oliver Goldstick, Doug Cooney
Learn the art of writing for television and creating the pilot episode, from half-hour sitcoms to one-hour episodes. You’ll learn how to conceive an original television series, write a beat sheet/outline, and begin writing your first draft of a script. You’ll also develop strategies for breaking into television writing.
Undergraduate and graduate writers: film, television, and theatre preferred, but poets, fiction writers, journalists, etc. are welcome! It’s not so much the experience you have, but the passion, discipline, and willingness you demonstrate to expand your skills.
