Attend 10 live online seminars, 3 panels and networking sessions w/ showrunners, development executives and writers from the hottest TV shows. Build a roadmap for success that starts with pilot development and writing craft, clarifying your brand, selling in the room & understanding ultimately what it takes to create your own shows and run them.
