I think I've got a wonderful story with actors in mind to play the characters.
That's great! Should you be interested in having one of our professionals give you feedback on your script, visit www.scriptreaderpro.com/our-script-coverage-services/
If you can somehow get to those actors, they like it and they’re relatively high profile, your odds of getting things going with a studio increase exponentially.
who the fck cares?
Great video, indeed the best on youtube regarding this. I subbed to the channel!
I did not have a story structure laid out when is started writing my animated comedy pilot, but the whole thing has come to be about 30 pages with act breaks nearly matching in the 3rds portions of the script. I had this story in my head circling for months though, essentially I could see it all in my head unfolding so putting it onto paper was rather streamlined., then ofcourse filling it out was a new experience.
The most informative video I’ve ever seen. You broke down everything with ease! Thank you
Awesome video! Well done and very helpful. Thanks a lot.

I've got a great crime story written and still have ideas for the future. Thx so much this vid rlly helped
Glad you found it helpful!
Do you have a video about putting together a documentary series?
Ty my adult films story were getting cliche and this helped a lot.
1) I haven't watched a TV show in years, decades even. (90 hr work weeks don't leave much TV time.) All my shows are from the 90s or before. I've barely heard of any of the shows you referenced.
2) I've been working this story in my head for 30 years. I finally realized today that its open-ended episodic nature would work great as a TV show, but it's hit dead end after roadblock as a novel or movie.

Word up 🤙
Thanks for watching!
I have a great idea for T.V. series, at least in my opinion, that is a book that was made into a movie way back in the early 2000’s. It would be its own thing while also taking inspiration from both the book as well as the movie that came before it.
"Show...Don't Tell"
Everything you TALKED about in this Video is GREAT...
But just talking isn't going to SHOW people that do not know what You're talking about.
SHOW a real TV script...
Show what industry format is used...
Show HOW to write a TV Script first.... etc....
Thank you for sharing this video
That’s silly. You don’t show a cereal box to learn how to make cereal.
@@Miniweet9167
EXACTLY....
You SHOW How To make the Cereal Box... It is called a Tutorial or a "How To" or a D.I.Y....
NOT just "Talk" about How To make a Cereal Box.
Amazing analysis
Glad you think so!
@@ScriptReaderProLosAngeles Hello. I hope you're well. I'm a TV and Film writer working in South Africa. How can I break into the American Market and find a literary Manager to work with? Your assistance will be highly appreciated.

We recommend starting with how to write the pilot, like this video suggestions. Then, check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/CURAWiXuaDk/v-deo.html
I wrote a show I wanted to see.
I constantly generate random incomplete I guess story concepts but I’m not sure where or how to start with writing 😅 I’ve been a musician my whole life but only recently realizing I’m a creative and feel urged to expand
Hi Gino! It's great that you are pushing yourself creatively in other fashions. When it comes to concepts, it's more than just an idea. We recommend you watch our video on concepts: ua-cam.com/video/dF2pz928YjA/v-deo.html

Glad you found the video helpful!
What should I do about the Monster Episodic Comedy I wrote. 40 Contiguous 1 hour episodes, Contiguous Continuity Characters, inter-woven start to finish…
Where could I get it Produced, Managed, Distributor, etc…
Asking for an idiot that did that on a whim that become the bane of my existence…
How Can i Hire u ?

Easier than a feature? Ha!
I'm having trouble with the format. I have the Idea, the characters, and I'm ready to go, but I'm stuck and I can't type anything because I don't understand how to format properly!😣🤦🏿
Hi K, we recommend purchasing our Master Formatting Screenwriting Book, available on our website!
Great info despite being distracted by the obvious fact that she's reading from a teleprompter
Glad you found the information helpful. Yes, all of our videos are based off our blogs of the same subject matter. You can find the link to the post in the description of the video!
The few real pieces of advice don't start until 19:30.

Hi Dustin, we have handcrafted each video based on our blog posts. You can find the one on how to write a TV pilot here:www.scriptreaderpro.com/how-to-write-a-tv-pilot-script/
Its not many black shows out but the majority are comedy, so not a selection for us.
Hi Casee, the industry is heading toward more diversity and inclusion. We encourage you to keep writing the stories that you wish to see on television, as it's how change can come about! Squid Game is making great strides, for example. You may find this video helpful: ua-cam.com/video/LNAcxU0eP-I/v-deo.html
she sounds so robotic. It's as if it is not her thing.
I just want to see the story in my head on the screen
