SCRIPT ANALYSIS: TV
3 Week Workshop 

One of the best ways to become a better script writer is to read a lot of scripts! But how you read those scripts and what you do with that experience will determine if you walk away intimidated or inspired. Likewise, how you process and archive your analyses is the key to building a more robust craft; the conscious understanding and ability to create structure, engine, plot, and character. 

In this four-week workshop, you will learn how to read scripts and how to watch TV in a way that helps you to write your scripts more effectively and efficiently. 

​Each week you will be assigned a TV episode and script to analyze at home. Then in class, we will work through a script together, often line by line, breaking down the mechanics of the episode. 

​This class is live and invites you to be an active participant each week. You may also choose to add on a one-on-one session outside of class. This session will allow you to deepen your craft knowledge or your show's concept. ​

​"I learned more in one session with Jess than I did in four years of NYU film school."
​- Jenna, NYU GRADUATE 2020​
"Jess' approach is beyond anything I have ever experienced from a class or in any writers room.  I always need to know the science behind things and knowing that all her techniques stem from neuroscience and psychology -- it just works."
- Kevin, TV WRITER 2020
​
"In ten pages and one hour Jess broke open my story and transformed my structure. She saved me eight months of rewriting! Thank you!" 
- Celeste, SCREENWRITER 2019


​
"Jess's classes and meditations have gotten me through some very severe blocks. These are professional-grade tools that short circuit the fear, imposter syndrome, and perfectionism that stands in the way of you doing your best work. I rely on them regularly! "
- Carly Wray,  Writer/Producer - MADMEN, MINDHUNTER, WESTWORLD
 "The Alchemy class has helped me beyond words.
 
I took it on a whim - and when I say whim, I mean I signed up for it on my phone, through tears, while in the middle of breakdown in the shower about how I’m never going to be a writer - that kind of whim.
 
Even though it was way out of my comfort zone, Jess never made me feel like I didn’t belong there. Her unique ability to adjust her approach based on where the writer is in their journey shows her passion and dedication to actually helping us move forward.
 
This class was the first time I ever really felt safe to share. The way Jess handles giving feedback is like therapy for a writer’s soul. It’s empowering, insightful and inspirational. 
​ 
I’ve taken other classes and I know how Hollywood works. Jess finds a way to lift people up as she teaches instead of putting them down.
Elle Waitt, WRITER 2020
