This 5-video bundle is our foundational TV writing class. It has launched and sustained hundreds of careers and remains the cornerstone of our curriculum. Ask our alums:
“Televisionary gives you the tools to grow that seed of a TV show idea into a full grown plant.” – Claudia Forestieri, creator Gordita Chronicles (HBO Max)
“Televisionary gave me a solid understanding of TV structure and I came away with an efficient and repeatable process from going through concept to beat sheet to outline to finished draft.” – Amadou Diallou, Billions (Showtime)
Perfect for both new and experienced writers, Televisionary takes you from concept to a working outline, by applying Script Anatomy’s unique tools. With instructor Ali Laventhol you will learn about hooks, arena, loglines, structure, act outs, character development, dynamic relationships, stakes, dilemma, theme and more. You’ll also see her apply these techniques with actual students.
These are intensive classes, you’ll learn a lot. But these techniques will sustain you throughout your career. Many pros repeat Televisionary when they start a new project.
