Only 4 Spots Remain - Grab Your Spot Now Before They're All Gone!

Drama television is at its peak with iconic shows like SUCCESSION, INDUSTRY, YELLOWJACKETS, THE HANDMAID'S TALE, STRANGER THINGS, YELLOWSTONE and so much more. Thanks to streamers such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Disney+, HBO 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. But not only is the quantity increasing, so is the quality, as companies are funneling an unprecedented amount of money, resources, marketing and talent into their shows. In short, there has never been a better time to write for TV. 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.

In this lab, Spencer will be working directly with you in a virtual class setting and also during one-on-one sessions with the goal of helping you write a fantastic, market-ready pilot. To do so, Spencer will guide you through picking a concept, creating engaging characters, perfecting your structure, constructing an outline and, finally, writing your pilot.

If you already have a concept or even a completed pilot, Spencer will use the same tools to help you hone and sharpen your material. You will leave this lab with a completed television drama pilot script that you can share with the marketplace.
