TV Pilot Lab (Drama)
Aug 20 to Oct 22 — Sundays, 10:00am – 2:00pm (PDT)
Instructor: Omaira Galarza
You need at least one exceptional original pilot to break into the business.
The TV Drama Pilot Lab is a 6-week intensive course that requires 2 weeks of prep before class begins. Using Script Anatomy tools, you will develop, outline and write your TV drama pilot at a pace expected in the TV industry.
This class runs like a professional writers room. You’ll put your story on the board and pitch it to the class just like in a proper writers room. And at every stage of the process, you will work the Script Anatomy tools and get notes. Along the way, there will be lessons about writing and also about aspects of the business like breaking in, managing your representation and so on.
Students are required to devote time to homework and writing, and to reading other classmates’ work to provide feedback. They are expected to actively participate in the development and story breaking process. In a professional writers room, you must participate if you want to keep your job! Working this muscle will benefit you.
This class is designed to prepare you for your first job writing for TV. And the experience is invaluable. Check out Lisa Bao’s video.
Required: Televisionary or equivalent experience.
*Sign up early! There are at least two weeks of prep work to complete.*
Testimonials: “Omaira was very committed to understanding student’s projects and awesome at hanging in with vague, challenging, or weak story outlines (including mine!) and providing very thorough feedback. She presented info clearly and was SUPER encouraging.” — Megan Hansen
“Omaira’s warmth made it quite easy to open up about ideas without me feeling like my ideas were awful. She was great at explicitly pointing out where something in my story lacked or might need a little cherry on top to make something more impactful. I have taken a writing class previously and Script Anatomy was extremely different. My previous writing class was great, but Script Anatomy really helped with pulling out my ideas with the various worksheets that were given throughout the course. I’ve had so many writing breakthroughs through SA and I appreciate Omaira for graciously assisting me through the process. I look forward to taking another class with SA (specifically with Omaira).” — Bree K. Jones
