Get ready to bang out your PILOT!

Got an idea for a TV show… somewhere between your Notes app and your nightmares?

Let's get you unstuck ... NOW.

In this one-hour, fast-paced workshop, TV writer and director Kelly Sater will help you line up all the ducks you need to just get STARTED. (And...FINISHED.)

She'll guide you to stop overthinking, start writing, and fall back in love with your idea.

You’ll learn why there’s no such thing as “writer’s block,” what to do before you even open your script software, and why you'll always feel better after your Vomit Draft.

Whether you’re a motivated beginner or a seasoned creative in need of a jumpstart, this workshop will give you the kickstart you need to get your idea out of your head and onto the (perfectly formatted) page.

This workshop is perfect for you if...

• You’ve had a pilot idea floating in your head/phone forever, but can’t seem to sit down and START.
• You’re a writer, comedian, or creative ready to move from concept to pages.
• You’re flummoxed by all the “rules” of screenwriting and need a simple, supportive entry point.
• You thrive on friendly accountability, clear next steps, and total lack of bro vibe.

You will learn:

• Why “writer’s block” isn’t real—and what’s actually happening when you feel stuck.
• What to gather before you write: comps, outline formats, and script tools that fit your brain.
• How to study the first scenes of iconic pilots to understand structure, tone, and character.
• Why outlining is your bestie.

You will leave with:

• A perfect sample pilot to read (and follow along as you watch).
• An understanding of available scriptwriting tools.
• A clearer sense of your story’s shape—and how to jumpstart your process right now.
• A sneak peek at how Kelly’s full From Zero to Pilot course (starting November 16) takes you from blank page to finished draft. Info and registration here.
