Writer Therapy: Creating Opportunities in Film, TV, and Beyond
Symposium by Pipeline Artists
10/30/24 • 75 min
Get comfortable.. it's therapy time!
With screenwriting career coach Lee Jessup and writer-turned-therapist Phil Stark (Dude, Where's My Car?), we'll not only discuss the state of the industry but also the mindset needed to stay in the game.
Perhaps, the biggest question for survival is, “Are you a screenwriter or a storyteller?” We'll discuss the pitfalls of writers painting themselves into a corner by not at least exploring other writing avenues. Let's dispel the myth of “all I need is a manager” or “all I need is to sell one script.”
Yes, it’s hard out there, but it’s always been hard.
Lee and Phil will share advice on getting your mindset straight, and words on the page.
