Who's heard this one after telling someone about your pilot: "Great idea, but I don't see where this goes from here"? We have, and we don't mind answering it. But wouldn't it be great if everyone you pitched your pilot to/read your script had no problem seeing where the story goes from the pilot? We know our pilot is the template as well as the foundation for many years of content. Making sure your pilot conveys that, though, is easier said than done.
To help us learn how to craft the killer pilot, Roadmap welcomes the impeccable Tyler Knell for this special two week clinic!
This Two Week Clinic Will Cover:
- The building blocks of a drama pilot
- How to set up the series
- Crafting compelling characters
- Feedback on your first 10 pages
TYLER KNELL is a television producer with over ten years of experience in bringing stories to the small screen, including the upcoming series, TRUE BUSINESS, with actress/producer Millicent Simmonds (A QUIET PLACE). He is the former Director of Development at Circle of Confusion Television Studios, a joint venture between Circle of Confusion and ITV Studios America, where he developed groundbreaking projects with creatives such as Sterlin Harjo, Doug Jung, and Dan Trachtenberg, among many others. Prior to this, Tyler was the Cable & Streaming Development Coordinator at CBS Television Studios, where worked on such shows as POWER (Starz), INCORPORATED (Syfy), and UNBELIEVABLE (Netflix). Born and raised in San Diego, CA with an appreciation for theatre and film, he followed that passion to pursue a film production degree at USC’s School of Cinematic Arts, where, among other accomplishments, he received a Coca-Cola Refreshing Filmmaker Grant and produced numerous award-winning short films. Upon graduation, Tyler became a TV Literary Agent Trainee at Paradigm Talent Agency before later transitioning into a career in scripted TV development. An avid sports fan, one can speculate that his penchant for championing underdogs, up-and-comers, and talented longshots over his career in television may stem from years of rooting for his beloved San Diego Padres.
Tyler is a visual thinker with a wide open imagination and serious integrity. He went above & beyond with his careful analysis of my character development, story structure, and story potential. His creative problem-solving is collaborative, not ego-driven.
