Online Meetup: Creating Your Own Web Series with WGA Writer/Producer Bill Taub.

Bill is a prolific screenwriter, author of Automatic Pilot (http://www.billtaub.com/automatic-pilot) and an instructor for UCLA's screenwriting program. He's hosting a Zoom conference for us on March 2 @ 7pm.

Zoom is a very easy to use, very robust video conferencing system, used by many in Hollywood. Full connection details will be provided to those who RSVP. The event is free, but only 45 people can attend. If you change your mind after you RSVP, please do come back and change your registration so someone else can have your place.

Why Write a Web Series?

A Web Series is the only form in which a creator controls the content from conception to completion! It's their vision, their voice that makes it to the screen. In this session, WGA Writer/Producer Bill Taub addresses:

Why there's never been a better time for the series writer/producer

The changes in media distribution which make web series far easier to fund and produce than a film

How writing a great series pilot can turn you into a show runner or get you on staff at a studio as a writer

How writer/producers are particularly well positioned to thrive in the modern media marketplace

How writing a series gives writers more freedom and control over their characters and the stories they create

The fundamentals of writing a web series pilot and bible

The process by which writer/producers pitch their products
