The big opportunity for screenwriters has shifted dramatically from film to television, and the best way to get in the writing game TV & features is to write a professional, bulletproof 1 hour pilot script. A rock-solid 1 hour pilot script is not just a sample of your TV writing skills, but or your feature writing chops, too.

Thanks to cable, the Internet, and channels such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon the hunt for great shows is a year-round event. In this ONLINE VIDEO CLASS, Gemini award-winning television producer and two-time Emmy nominated TV writer Jeffrey Alan Schechter shows you how to structure the Bulletproof 1 Hour Pilot Script, teaching you the private system you can use to immediately to make your scripts professional and memorable.

In this online class you’ll learn:

The 3 questions you need to answer before you write your pilot script

The 6 business reasons why an original pilot script is better than a sample episode of an existing series

The surprising insight why a 1 hour pilot script is also a killer feature sample.

The 4 reasons to write an episodic pilot and not a serialized one

The differences between cable & broadcast pilots (and which one is better to write)

The 5 essential steps to knowing your show

The 7 distinct characters you need to round out your cast.

A formula to quickly pitch your entire show (series, season, and episode)

The 9 bulletproof plot points of your Teaser & Act 1.

A step-by-step guide to tracking the A, B, and C stories through the entire script.

CSI:NY (Season 5, Episode 22) – This is a very clean Teaser/4 Acts breakdown of an EPISODIC show.

NCIS (Season 5, Episode 7) – One of the most popular shows on broadcast, this episode uses a Teaser/5 Act structure.

Breaking Bad (Season 1, Episode 6) – Some of the best writing on TV, this is an excellent example of a SERIALIZED show that follows the Teaser/4 Act structure but with heavy character development .
