Upcoming Screenwriting & Content Career Course
Hello everyone,
This is Philippa Burgess with Creative Convergence Inc. and I will be facilitating the Million Dollar Screenwriting & Content Career Intensive coming up in October and November. The program focuses on the business and marketing aspects of your screenwriting career. It is offered three times a year for $297 although alum find it to be priceless, and included as part of Chris Soth's Screenwriting Mentorship Program (http://www.yourscreenplaymentor.com/) and the YSS Mentorship Program (www.yoursignaturestory.com/courses/offered).
You may know me from my activities related to speaking and writing about marketing for writers. I started my career in the motion picture literary department at ICM (International Creative Management) and then went on to co-found the literary management company Mason Burgess Lifschultz which subsequently evolved into Creative Convergence. This course is the career companion to Chris Soth's Million Dollar Screenwriting Teleseminar. I’ve known since before he became a million-dollar screenwriter from our days at USC Film School together and together I believe we cover the bases of what you need to know to become a professional writer in Hollywood.
In my journey as an entertainment professional I am aware of the common practice in Hollywood that we ignore you until you figure it out. Having worked on the representation side of the business for over a decade I have a lot of insights to share about how to reframe and expand your thinking about the business. The goal of this program is to help you to maximize your efforts and your results so that you can not only break in to Hollywood, but also set the groundwork for a sustainable screenwriting career.
The live calls will be held on Tuesdays and Wednesday nights – October 6 & 7 and then continuing October 20, 21, 27, 28 and November 3 & 4. We start at 5:30PM PT. On average it is a hour and a half lecture followed by a one hour free-form Q&A. There is a PDF handout and an MP3 made available for all of these calls in addition to the online forum for networking, questions and sharing resources. The online components are especially valuable for those who are not able to make the live calls due to work, personal or time zone conflicts.
In the eight sessions we cover:
October 6 - Hollywood Career Diamond
October 7 - Your Signature Story
October 20 - Navigating the Studios, Independent & Indie Film
October 21 - Navigating Network, Cable TV & New Media
October 27 - Working with Execs, Producers & Talent
October 28 - Working with Agents, Managers & Attorneys
November 3 - Marketing Yourself & Your Script
November 4 - Picture the Deal: Standards, Practices and Pitfalls
