TV/FILM WORKSHOP
5 Week workshop Want to workshop your entire TV pilot or half of your feature screenplay? Interested to find out how readers will experience your work? Each week we will workshop one writers entire pilot/pitch bible or half a screenplay. Writers will get feedback on their script and will learn tools demonstrated in other writers' works. You will leave with a solid plan for rewriting or polishing your script. The week of your workshop you will get specific feedback on your script. All other weeks you will learn craft techniques, practice script analysis, and help support the read of your fellow writers. Feedback from other writers will be curated in a way that helps you move forward without any opinions or egos getting in the way. All notes will be delivered by instructor Jess Hinds. Jess has mentored writers working on dozens of shows including MINDHUNTER, WEST WORLD, MAD MEN, LEVERAGE, CONSTANTINE, BROAD CITY, SNL, THE GOLDBERGS, BLUE BLOODS, GAME OF THRONES, XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS, OCTOBER FACTION, WATCHMEN, HIGH MAINTENANCE and more. Don't have pages yet? Take the Meditative Writing Workshop. Not yet ready to workshop but want to learn more about pilot structure, outlining, and screenwriting techniques? Join us as a non-workshop participant. You will participate in the readings, script analysis, and feedback sessions without workshopping your own script. This will help prepare you to write your own pilot! And you get to be a part of an awesome tribe of writers. |

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, Mad Men, Westworld) "I was amazed not only at the number of tools I learned but the psychology behind them. I've read every book on screenwriting and felt overwhelmed with what I was 'supposed' to do on the page. I was tired of following someone else's path; it felt forced. This class gave me tools I could actually use on all my scripts. Jess helped me understand the psychology of how a reader reads a script vs how an audience watches TV and unconsciously what brings an audience back to a show. This has changed my career." - Susan G, TV Writer |
