If you’re an aspiring screenwriter with an interest in television, there’s a good chance you’ve heard of a TV series bible, but if you’ve never actually pitched a show, there’s a chance you’re not 100% clear about what that is. A series bible can be an essential tool in pitching a television show. It’s used as an additional way to explain the tone, look and themes of your pilot.
FilmDayton is hosting a two-day session that will allow writers to learn how to craft their bible for their Television Series and create a pitch document outlining their show. Through writing exercises, group workshopping, and looking at existing shows and their series bibles — writers will gain a thorough insight into what it takes to get your show ready for the next level.
The last session will include a Q&A skype session with industry experts. Past guests have included writer’s (Leftovers, Westworld, House), Literary Managers and Agents, and Studio Executives.
Our instructor, Marishia Mukerjee, helped create the very first FilmDayton Festival in 2009 when she was on the FilmDayton Board. She’s been a location manager, producer and filmmaker, and successful writer. Her writing/producing credits include: The Bridge (FX), Heroes Reborn (NBC), Quantico (ABC), Titans (DC Streaming), Shantaram (Apple).
This two day workshop costs $225 and you can sign up online. FilmDayton members can attend for $175.
