Do you feel like you have a whole host of ideas rattling around in your head but have no idea which one to focus on? Do you want guidance and advice as you prepare something new? Do you want a weekly meeting with tailored assignments to hold you accountable as you develop your next project?
If you said yes to any of these, then an Incubator is just what the doctor ordered! This four-week class will put you through your development paces and ensure that you get writing on the best foot possible.
This Class Will Cover:
- Story structure
- Keeping conflict interesting and escalating
- Crafting satisfying character arcs
- And more!
- Start with concept/hook.
- Character driving plot, not the other way around. I'm BIG on structure, especially for TV pilots - if you break the rules, it better be worth it :)
- FYI - I tend to identify more with POV character-driven stories over ensembles, both in TV and film.
One-hour, female-driven, sci-fi/psychological thriller for cable and streaming is my particular interest. I am also interested in neurodiverse points of view, streaming-driven dramedies (a la TINY BEAUTIFUL THINGS) and big world-building sci-fi / futurist / dystopian feature, adventure movies, and family-friendly movies (think Pixar).
I just don't like true crime (i.e. serial killer stories), torture-horror or stories involving extreme violence against women by men. I am only interested in historical stories or period pieces if they are from a female perspective.
