I'm teaching at the PIT this Summer - Wednesdays
July 2-August 6
This class will teach students how to write for sitcoms like How I Met Your Mother and Entourage. Through entertaining instruction, writing assignments, real-life (well, real-TV) examples, and feedback, students will learn to construct stories, scenes and dialogue that work. At the end of the course, students will have a spec script (that, hopefully, they will work on some more before they submit to anyone). We will discuss:
 
  • The studios and the networks and how the business works
  • The series development process 
  • How to pitch your own show
  • Pre-production
  • The production process
  • How an episode goes from idea to screen 
  • The importance of a great writing sample
  • How to get an agent
  • The “Staffing Season”
  • Tips to survive once you’re on staff
  • And… YOUR SPEC SCRIPT

In the feature film arena, Sarit wrote and sold options on two original screenplays which are currently being marketed to studios by producers.

That's me, Kimmy Gatewood (one of my stars), my director Matthew C. Johnson, and (my other star) Canedy Knowles at the New York Television Festival, where we kicked butt!  We didn't win but we totally should have.
