Finding Success in the Current Film & TV Industry Climate from Pipeline Artists Symposium on Vimeo.

The last few years have been a rollercoaster for screenwriters. Starting with the WGA’s action against agents in 2019, going into the pandemic, and then last year's strike, there’s been a lot to adjust to on the screenwriting front.

Screenwriting career coach Lee Jessup will discuss all that you need to know about our ever-shifting landscape and explore how to build the sort of successful career you're seeking.

In the context of working in today’s industry, we'll explore: 

• Getting representation
• What to expect from your reps, and what they will expect from you
• Feature market realities: Selling features and pitches and landing Open Writing Assignments (OWA’s)
• TV: Staffing on shows and selling your pilot
• Open Q&A (for those attending live)
