DEV 101 - 1:1 - 6 weeks 
$1750 
6x 90min, over Zoom, PST

A one-on-one Development Masterclass that teaches you development skills, systems, and exercises that can be used on ANY project and apply to every part of a project.

Learn the development systems I use with producers, showrunners, and staffed writers to build unique concepts, pitches, and scripts. We'll practice development-based exercises, walk through breaking concepts together, and study a pitch that has sold in the room so you'll leave equipped with the tools you need to level up your development game.

**You will be learning evergreen exercises that can be applied to every section of a strong pitch / development doc. In order to best practice these exercises and build development skills, you will not be working on ONE project in class or need to bring a project to class. That way you can focus on the skills themselves objectively.
 
WEEK 1 : We study the source of your stories - and how to make sure you have a personal connection to the work you’re creating.
 
WEEK 2 :  We study a concept generating system that explores how to generate  unique ideas that you will resonate with on multiple levels.
 
WEEK 3 : We study a filtering system that organizes your ideas and gives you a process to vet them to figure out which ones are the strongest candidates for investment.
 
WEEK 4 : We study exercises that develop your protagonist, your characters, episodes, and the series. — And we start breaking a concept together in class.
 
WEEK 5 : We study exercises that develop your pilot/feature/story and your season arc/narrative. — And we continue breaking a concept together in class.
 
WEEK 6 : You'll share pitches for your own original ideas based on the exercises we’ve covered, and you’ll hear 2 pitches for TV shows that have sold in the room.

DEV 201 for FEATURES - 1:1 - 4 weeks
$2000
6x 75min, over Zoom, PST
*Prereq - Dev 101

*A treatment-writing Masterclass* -- Dev 201 for features takes a writer on a journey from concept to a pressure-tested treatment. *You'll also be able to ask questions and talk through choices in between our sessions -- response times may vary, but tend to be within 12 hours.*

WEEK 1 : Reviewing a 1-2 pager for your project, we'll do a deep-dive into your idea, kicking the tires on the concept, tone, genre and themes. We'll also make sure it's sticky and high-concept enough to intrigue, and we'll stress test your personal connection to and interest in the project. 

WEEK 2 :  Reviewing your 3-5 page mini-treatment we'll start to dig into set pieces, and ACT 2 structure to make sure your protagonist's journey properly reflects the themes and world of your premise.

WEEK 3 : Reviewing your 10-15 page treatment, we'll discuss pacing, word choices, and whether or not you're satisfying the "genre monster."

WEEK 4 : Reviewing your revised 10-15 page treatment, this session is a TBD focus, taking care of any weak spots or not-as-shiny-as-they-could-be elements of your project before you go off to write the outline.
