For students who have already learned the basics of screenwriting and film production, this course is modeled around the functioning of the Writer's Room on an episodic series. Students will participate collaboratively, write independently, and develop a series together. Emphasis will be placed on story arc and structure; the interweaving of character threads; and the intersection of themes. Students will learn how a Writer's Room works; and study will be made of one season of a current episodic show, its components broken down and challenged.
