TV Pilot Rewriting with a TV Lit Manager

You’ve completed a draft of your drama or comedy pilot script, but there is still room for improvement and you need help in the rewriting process. You want to rewrite your pilot from an informed industry perspective so that your script can go the distance in the entertainment marketplace. If these statements ring true, then this course can help you rewrite a pilot from an insider’s point-of-view. You learn current TV trends, network and streamer brands and their specific needs, and get information about the kinds of pilots executives and showrunners want to read today. In addition, you explore how to get representation in Hollywood and how to manage your relationships with representatives to get them working for you. Invited guest speakers from the TV industry help to demystify the business and give you the tools to prepare for a successful career in television. The goal of the course is to take your previously written one-hour or half-hour pilot script, determine where and how you can make story and character adjustments for improvement, and rewrite the script to produce a second draft that shines. You must have a completed pilot draft ready before the first class meeting.
