It's Time You Wrote a Pilot in a Week.

Have a script idea that's been kicking around and you just need get it out? Or a deadline that's coming up for a fellowship? Dust off the cobwebs and dive into a first draft with me in this week-long 2-day writing workshop.

• What is it?

 

A 2-part writing workshop that helps students go from Pitch -> Finished Product in 1 week.

• How does it work?

 

Students meet on Day 1 to pitch their ideas to the class "writers room". We'll workshop, and refine your idea so that you feel confident enough to dive in. Then, over the course of a week you'll WRITE the 1st draft of your script (with my guidance along the way). On Day 2 we do marathon read-throughs of your work!

• Who is it for?

 

Writers who have a basic grasp of script-writing (i.e. we won't be going over the basics, this is not a "Pilot 101" class). Writers who have an idea for a half-hour pilot or spec ~or~ writers who want to write the first act of their feature. 


• How much does it cost? 

 

$95 each 

​

• Where does it take place?

 

On Zoom!

STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

"[Trash Draft] helped me learn I could crank out a 37 page pilot in a week! I've written before, and it always comes in massive waves, so this was a nice reminder of what I was capable of."
"[Trash Draft] gave me confidence to start a draft of something I was very nervous to get into. And the Trash Draft I did went from something I was just vaguely interested in into something I hope to get made one day."
"Trash Draft helped me stop being precious about my output and Julia's notes put my script onto a path I couldn't have figured out by myself. It was the most help I've gotten in a writing class."
"The premise [of Trash Draft] really works - I did actually write a whole pilot in a week. It's amazing, because on day one when I was outlining, I was thinking, "there's no way this is going to be done in six days", and then by the end of the week, I have a pilot draft ready to be worked on."
"I have taken Julia's Trash Draft class many times over the years. I have Trash Draft to thank for the last three pilots I wrote. I have always struggled with pushing through when it comes to making big choices in a script, and with Trash Draft there isn't time to hem and haw. It's shown me my natural skills as a writer and enabled me to trust myself.
I would recommend Trash Draft to anybody who has an idea floating around up there that they just can't seem to get started."
"Trash Draft has permeated essentially ever corner of my creative journey since I took the workshop! I've produced multiple short films by first using the trash draft principal to get my projects out of my mind and onto the page. It's been a game-changer."
