TV Pilot Lab (Drama)

Jan 21 to Mar 24 — Sundays, 10:00am – 2:00pm (PDT)

Instructor: Aly Feltes

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: “Working with Aly was invaluable – her notes were smart, honest and encouraging. I always left class feeling elated and super jazzed to implement her feedback. Her notes were just so amazing! I also appreciate that she’s a working TV writer / producer, and her generosity in sharing behind-the-scenes insight with a room of new writers. She’s like a cooler, hipper, fairy godmother who will dust magic over your script. Highly recommended! — Melissa Cassera, writer of LIfetime’s Obsession Trilogy
