DEV 101 - Class
6 Weeks. Over ZOOM. $500 - 10% / $50 off through Sept 30th!
Sundays. OCTOBER 12, 19, 26, Nov. 2, 9, 16
12-2:30pm PST.

This is not a pilot writing class. This is a Development Masterclass that teaches you development skills, systems, and exercises that can be used on ANY project and apply to every part of a project

Learn the development systems I use with producers, showrunners, and staffed writers to build unique concepts, pitches, and scripts. We'll practice development-based exercises, walk through breaking concepts together, and study a pitch that has sold in the room so you'll leave equipped with the tools you need to level up your development game.

**You will be learning evergreen exercises that can be applied to every section of a strong pitch / development doc. In order to best practice these exercises and build development skills, you will not be working on ONE project in class or need to bring a project to class. That way you can focus on the skills themselves objectively.
 
WEEK 1 : We study the source of your stories - and how to make sure you have a personal connection to the work you’re creating.
 
WEEK 2 :  We study a concept generating system that explores how to generate  unique ideas that you will resonate with on multiple levels.
 
WEEK 3 : We study a filtering system that organizes your ideas and gives you a process to vet them to figure out which ones are the strongest candidates for investment.
 
WEEK 4 : We study exercises that develop your protagonist, your characters, episodes, and the series. — And we start breaking a concept together in class.
 
WEEK 5 : We study exercises that develop your pilot/feature/story and your season arc/narrative. — And we continue breaking a concept together in class.
 
WEEK 6 : You'll share pitches for your own original ideas based on the exercises we’ve covered, and you’ll hear 2 pitches for TV shows that have sold in the room.
