Free 1 Week Class at Screenwriting Master Class! Starts Tuesday, July 5!
A guest post from Tom Benedek with a special offer:
Okay. So the velociraptor ate my homework. It’s not my fault. Really. There is a one week online Craft class starting Tuesday about writing the web series. I have a few favorite web series to discuss, but I haven’t written any lectures yet. And a great idea for a couple of workbook assignments and live workshop talks on Skype or Hangout. But, I have been overwhelmed. I am starting a podcast — TheProcess.Ink which will go live shortly. I’ve already recorded 7 shows and cued up great guests for more. But, there are a lot of details to doing a podcast. And it has taken too much of my bandwidth.
So… Scott and I are offering the class for free. Price of admission:
1) Post your favorite web series for discussion. My two favorites: Broad City and High Maintenance. If you don’t have a favorite web series, watch a little bit of one of those and maybe look around for something else to point us towards.
2) Brainstorm the web series idea which I will be posting. If I or anyone else ever actually shoots this project and gets it up on the web, any writer who contributes content will receive: Credit. Glory. And a profit participation, of course.
3) Post your own web series idea and/or brainstorm a web project which another class member posts.
So please consider joining this class. To join, go here and write Free Web Series Class in the message box.
There is a new movie on Netflix called The Fundamentals of Caring. Looking for something funny to watch for a little while, it just started playing on our screen two nights ago. Paul Rudd stars in this wonderful paradox. A charming, funny film about things that are not. The modulation of drama and humor is amazing. The character relationships are drawn simply and clearly. So, again, thank you, Netflix for this one.
I’ve been tracking web series since I launched the blog 8 years ago and it’s great how entertaining some of them are at this point like “Broad City”:
With the internet functioning as a distribution network, if you have talent, a great concept, access to an iPhone and editing software on your computer, why not create it?
So go here and join Tom next Tuesday for an open-ended exploration of web series to see what you can learn about producing one yourself.
