FiLMLaB.tv 2018 Kicks Off with Television and Webseries Writing Workshops This Winter
FiLMLaB.tv 2018 kicks off this winter with workshops on television and webseries writing and episodic story structure. After completing these workshops, our participating writers will be challenged to write and submit a script for a proposed micro-webseries pilot. The winning pilot will be developed into a three-part micro-webseries produced by FiLMLaB.tv–three episodes, five minutes each in length, telling the conflict, escalation, and resolution of the winner’s concept. The top writers from this judging will be offered seats in the “writers’ room,” where F.J. Pratt will work with the staff writers on the final scripts for the series.
We anticipate shooting the micro-webseries episodes in late Spring and early Summer of 2018.
