This is a workshop-style course for those who have an interest in writing for television. The course will consist of two parts: First, students will develop premise lines, beat sheets and outlines for an episode of an existing television show. Second, students will develop their own idea for a television series which will culminate in the writing of the first 30 pages of an original television pilot.

Students will be admitted on the basis of an application by email briefly describing their interest in the course and their experience as a writer to course instructor email: Scott Burkhardt. This course is cross-listed with CIMS 117.
