You have a great idea for a TV series, but struggle to confidently pitch to studios/producers/buyers/friends/enemies. This is the class for you.
Get unstuck from the idea phase and build your pitch week by week with the process I've used to sell pitches to Adult Swim, Netflix, Comedy Central, studios, producers, directors, and also a few enemies.

Class Info
Over this 7-week live class you will learn how to build an exciting pitch for your tv series. You will find and hone the emotional hook of your story and then break down each element of the pitch as you develop and write your own pitch.
This class will consist of:
- 7 Live Lectures to help you understand each step and build your pitch (Thursday at 8pm PT, starting January 16 2025). Recordings will be available after each class for those who can't attend live.
- Live Q&A after each class lecture
- Cheat Sheet Development Worksheets - tools I've developed to jumpstart your process and move FAST in the right direction, laid out for you to easily workshop with your own project
- Access to an online community of writers of all levels for feedback, inspiration, and connection
Classes will be held virtually (link to webinar will be available closer to the start date), and each class will have a weekly assignment to build out the next step in your pitch. By the end of the class, you'll have a fully developed tv series and have a pitch ready to share.
We'll break down the process class by class, and by the end you'll have an engaging and exciting pitch ready to take out!

Here's What Previous Students Say About this Class:
"Chris is dutifully methodical in his approach to breaking down a great pitch. If (like most) you struggle to share your ideas -- due to nerves, lack of experience, etc. -- Chris lays out the process, step by step, so you walk away confident with a pitch you believe in." Saundra H.
"I'm so glad I took this class. Even the thought of pitching made my hands clammy. Chris gave us the tools to effectively sell our work, and ourselves, in any room. If you don't understand the business side of screenplay writing, or are struggling to get your ideas across, this is a great place to start." - Jeremiah S.
"Incredible class! Tons of great information on writing, pitching and the industry as a whole, even for somebody with previous experience pitching. It's rare to find a class this specific and well organized. I got so much out of this class, I can't reccomend it enough." - John V
All This!
This class will help you focus, give you inspiration and instruction, and get you from a great idea to an actual pitch you can take out to buyers. You'll come out of this class with a solid pitch and the foundational understanding to build pitches that work for you over and over again.
ANYONE can learn to develop their stories and sell their projects. Whether you already have a script or simply have an idea you want to explore, this class will take you step-by-step through the process that took me over a decade to find, test, and implement into my career.
If you're ready to take the next step in your screenwriting career, join my class and come out the other end with a pitch that people want to buy.
"I loved this class so much! It's absolutely worth the small investment that will save you so much trial and error going forward. Chris is an awesome instructor, so knowledgeable and attentive, and I couldn't have been happier with the class!" - Hannah K.
