Marla Whie

A TV Pilot isn't just a short movie, it has rules and a structure all its own.  Get expert help on making your script read like a pro's.

How many storylines should there be in a pilot? How many acts? How long should my comedy script be? How many acts should there be in my drama? What should be included in the first ten pages? There are so many different rules to navigate to make your creative ideas really shine. In this webinar I&#x27;ll go over mistakes I&#x27;ve seen all too often in my years of reading and evaluating scripts and give you simple suggestions on how to fix them. At the end of the webinar, I&#x27;ll do a Q&amp;A session to answer as many specific questions as I can. So whether you&#x27;re gearing up to enter contests, applying for writers&#x27; programs, or putting your script out there to sell, be sure to take this webinar to put your best script forward.
