The State of Hollywood: A 2025 Primer for Film & TV Writers
They told you after the strikes: “survive til ’25.”
Question is, what can you do to ensure 2025 is your most productive year as a film or TV writer?
Breaking in, staying in, and building a career has never been easy. To take meaningful strides toward becoming a professional screenwriter, you have to cut out the fluff, avoid the distractions, and pay attention to the ever-changing realities of Hollywood and the business.
Screenwriting career coach Lee Jessup brings a new Symposium, exclusively for film and TV writers—both new/emerging and semi-established—focusing on the current state of the industry, the hard truths rarely discussed (yet every writer has to confront), and exploring all that is required to move your writing—and your career—forward.
Tuesday, January 7, 2025
4-6 p.m. PT | 7-9 p.m. ET
Registration: $35
