Introduction Story Workshops with Emmy Award Winning Writer Eric Kaplan
The hardest and most important part of writing any project is story structure. IT is the foundation of the house. In these intensive hands-on workshops for entry level television writers we work out how to develop an idea into the story for a pilot script. We look at character, choices, plot points, and three-act structure.
We learn by doing!
