1 SPOT Remains! 

Private, interactive screenwriting lab with only 10 spots available! 

You will work one-on-one with a top literary manager to help you write your TV pilot script

There has never been a better time for you to write your TV drama, but you need to create a pilot that really grabs the attention of producers. Drama television is at its peak with iconic shows like SUCCESSION, THE BEAR, THE WHITE LOTUS, HOUSE OF THE CROWN, YELLOWJACKETS and so much more. Thanks to streamers such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Disney+, Max, and others, over 600 shows were greenlit last year and some industry experts are predicting we may see as many as 1,000 television shows greenlit per year by 2025. Not only is the quantity increasing, but so is the quality, as companies are funneling an unprecedented amount of money, resources, marketing, and talent into their shows. Now it’s just a matter of writing a pilot script that helps you break in.

The opportunities are plentiful and the prospects have never been more exciting, but if you want to write dramatic television you need to prove that you have the chops, and to do that, you better come armed with a great pilot script sample. This is your calling card, your way in, the piece of material that will fire you off the launch pad. The intention of this lab is to help you create that piece of material that stands out, gets you the right meetings, and, ultimately, gets you representation, meetings with decision-makers, and/or a coveted seat in a writer’s room.

Guiding you through writing your dramatic TV pilot is Spencer Robinson. Spencer is a literary and talent manager at Art/Work Entertainment who's been in the industry for over twenty years. Spencer's writing clients work in both features and television on broadcast, cable, and streaming platforms. He currently has a client writing on two Netflix series and another client who just sold a show to Amazon. He also reps a writer who currently has a project at Jason Bateman's Aggregate Films, which has a deal at Netflix. His on-camera clients have been in films with directors Quentin Tarantino, Steven Soderbergh, Clint Eastwood, Gore Verbinski and more. In the TV world, his clients have been regular cast members on shows for Netflix, The CW, Cinemax, CBS, NBC, FX, Starz, Nickelodeon, EPIX, and TBS, to name a few. Spencer has taught numerous webinars, classes, and writing labs for Stage 32 and remains one of our most popular and sought-after educators.

Spencer will be working directly with you in a virtual class setting and in one-on-one sessions to mentor you as you write your market-ready dramatic pilot script. Spencer will guide you through picking a concept, creating engaging characters, perfecting your structure, constructing an outline, and, writing your pilot. Over 6 interactive sessions, you will put pen to paper and write the drama TV pilot that until now has only been bouncing around in your head.

If you have a concept you are ready to write or even a completed pilot that needs a professional polish, Spencer will help you craft, hone, and sharpen your material.

You will leave this lab with a completed television drama pilot script vetted by an industry professional that you can share with the marketplace to help move your career forward!

This interactive Stage 32 lab is held on Zoom and goes substantially more in depth than a Stage 32 webinar. Best of all? As soon as you sign up you will be linked on email with your Stage 32 Educator and given a questionnaire to fill out and send back to them. You will have access to your Educator for the duration of your class by email to ask them any questions you have about your craft or career - it’s like having a mentor on demand! And, if you can't make a live session, don't worry! All class recordings will be available 48 hours after each session and you will be able to view them in your Library on your Stage 32 profile. Finally, you can expand your network with like-minded creatives - you'll have a dedicated lounge for interactive support and discussions with your fellow classmates!
