T.V. Staff Writing Workshop

Erik | May 14, 2009

This event is put on by Scriptwriters Network, on June 20, 2009 at CBS Radford Studios.  I’ll be acting as a “showrunner” helping attendees craft a pitch for a new drama series in a limited amount of time, as an exercise on “working in the room” on a television staff. Should be fun! http://www.scriptwritersnetwork.org/swn/index.php?mact=Calendar,cntnt01,default,0&cntnt01year=2009&cntnt01month=5&cntnt01event_id=85&cntnt01display=event&cntnt01lang=en_GB&cntnt01detailpage=65&cntnt01return_id=51&cntnt01returnid=65
