How To Build a Better Pilot

Co-Founder, Executive Director at The Art of Brooklyn Film Festival, Artist
The space between self-produced original work, “prestige" TV and independent film making has gotten smaller. And this has created exciting new opportunities for filmmakers, including women and/or?creators or color to enter the industry on their own terms. Issa Rae, whose YouTube show, The Mis-Adventures of Awkward Black Girl led to her phenomenal HBO series Insecure, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s original one woman play Fleabag became an international sensation as a series— to name two high profile examples.
In this workshop, founder of The Atlanta Film Project Spade Robinson will teach a multi-faceted approach to developing story, character and world development in an episodic format. In this workshop Spade teaches a proven writing process to use for a career-long practice.?
Ticket holders will watch live and have the opportunity to ask direct questions.

2 年Our mission is to connect Brooklyn's vibrant, diverse indie scene with film capitals around the world. So we're delighted to bring a bit of Atlanta to Brooklyn through this event. We met Spade last year when she participated in the female filmmaker panel we co-produced with the Alliance of Women Directors. She's awesome.
