TV & SCREENWRITING WORKSHOP
5 Week workshop Are you ready to take your TV pilot or feature screenplay to the next level? This workshop is designed for writers who want to refine their entire TV pilot and pitch bible or delve deeply into half of their feature screenplay. Each week, we will focus on one writer's work, providing comprehensive feedback and learning from the detailed examination of fellow participants' scripts. Workshop Structure:
Instructor Expertise: All feedback and guidance are provided by Jess Hinds, an experienced mentor who has worked with writers on acclaimed shows such as MINDHUNTER, WESTWORLD, MAD MEN, LEVERAGE, CONSTANTINE, BROAD CITY, SNL, THE GOLDBERGS, BLUE BLOODS, GAME OF THRONES, XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS, OCTOBER FACTION, WATCHMEN, HIGH MAINTENANCE, and more. Outcomes: By the end of the workshop, you will have a clear and actionable plan for rewriting or polishing your script, ensuring it meets industry standards and captures your unique voice. You'll also leave with valuable insights into the psychology of creativity, character behavior, and audience experience applicable to all your future projects.

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 |
"Jess' unique ability to adjust her approach based on where the writer is in their journey shows her 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."
