Summary
TV Pilots are arguably the best bang for your buck as an emerging writer - shorter, lower stakes, highly unlikely to get made anyway, and every competition is positively frothing at the mouth for them. But how does writing an episode of TV differ from writing a feature film? And how does writing specifically a pilot script for your own show differ from writing other TV? In the next on our series about how we approach writing for different mediums, we're going all-in on those 40-page wonders, from how to prep an idea and figure out its home, to how it might differ structurally from some other styles of writing. 📬 Get In Touch: Email us: [email protected] Follow us on Instagram: @theemergingpod Ben is @bmlrobins Martin is @bananabreadfilm Tray is @ByTrayepps ✨ Support the Show: If you enjoyed the episode, please rate and review!
