EARLY, EMERGING

Transform your understanding of TV storytelling by going beyond plot to focus on the emotional journey of your characters. Take a detailed look at the structure of an hour-long episode of television along with character development, story beats, the world of the show, tone, theme and story trends. Discuss industry news, how to break into the industry, and the culture of the story room.
