TV DIY - Write Your Own Episode

Facilitator: Kate Loveless

Learn about TV writing and script structure by creating your very own episode of a popular sitcom in a writers’ room made up of your fellow students. This workshop will take place in 2 sessions over a 1 week period — during the first meeting we will come up with an episode idea, break story as a group, and assign individual scenes to be written by the following week, and during the second meeting we will compile the scenes and read the full episode together. NOTE: workshop will require some knowledge of the show Schitt’s Creek (stream it on Hulu, Amazon, Apple TV, Freevee, & Vudu before workshop begins).
