ABOUT THE WEBINAR

Short attention spans and frequent commercials have changed when "act breaks" occur in network sitcoms. Gone are the days of the one break, two act episode. Premium cable series also present unique challenges. Understanding the deep structure of all formats is essential to writing a great spec or pilot.

By analyzing both a popular current network sitcom and a successful premium cable show, you'll delve into what producers need and how to get your spec to the highest level possible. You will examine specific episodes, their overall structure and the structure of their sequences and scenes. Screenwriter, Paul Chitlik, will refer to scripts of current and past shows, which you will read or view online before the beginning of the webinar so that all participants will have the same reference points. He will also show how the scripts breakdown using PowerPoint and other presentation methods.

Paul has written for network, premium cable, and syndicated sitcoms (including one in Spanish!), and will bring his practical experience to the webinar.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

  • The deep structure of all story construction
  • How each format fits into that construction
  • How scenes are structured
  • How A, B, and C stories give depth to episodes and characters
  • How to adapt a story from one format to another
  • How to set up and pay off
  • How to choose the format that best showcases your talent

WHO SHOULD LISTEN?

  • Novice writers who need to know how to analyze a show they want to write for
  • Emerging writers who may have begun a spec but are having trouble with the format
  • Veteran writers who need to switch from a traditional format to a more current format
  • Writers planning on writing a sitcom pilot or spec script
  • Development executives who want a deeper understanding of the form
  • Directors who want to enter sitcom directing
  • Writers making the transition from features or one-hour storytelling
  • Anyone who wants to expand their appreciation of sitcom writing.

Definitely Worth It
Quick and easy process. Coffee maker died and I had the insurance. Refunded and only ended up paying the price of insurance. Would do it again!

Claim was easy, speedy, and Amazon gift card was applied almost immediately.
I had to make a claim for a Ninja blender that was emitting an odor of burning or melting wires. I called a service representative thinking I might encounter a problem and was surprised. The agent was helpful and made the entire process so easy I applaud her! The Amazon gift card was posted to my account almost immediately after UPS picked the product up. I have decided that for products with a large number of parts and electronics that can fail I will purchase Asurion protection.

Asurion "Assures" nothing!
Asurion has terrible Customer Support. All machine based. They give you no phone # for human interaction. Their online Support process is very close-ended. It is a checklist designed to frustrate purchasers whose issue lies outside only the very issue. My issue: I bought "Cuisinart TOB-40FR Custom Classic Toaster Oven Broiler, Silver (Renewed)" on May 26, 2024. It stated it had a 90 day warranty. So I bought an Asurion Protection Plan also to cover it for 3 years. The toaster started flaking off metal finish inside the oven over the cooking area. I tried to file a claim with Asurion and they told me the Manufacturers warranty was still in effect and I should contact Cuisinart. This despite the oven was sold with a Amazon Renewed verbiage stating a 90 day warranty. And they have nothing on their "Machine Checklist" to cover this eventuality. And I would assume I am not the only one who takes the "Renewed" route and backs it up with a "Protection Plan". They will frustrate you no end. I suspect, like many insurances, they seek to deny, deny, deny, in hopes the purchaser will give up.

GIFT CARD AS REPLACEMENT, NO CHOICE OF CHECK OR REPLACEMENT. GOOD COMPANY
PROS: * A decent company, responsive and fair. * Allows you to buy items from anywhere you want, and buy the warranty at Amazon. * Provides better coverage than other warranties, and covers more, including breakage! CON: They don't send you a check in order to buy wherever you want, send a replacement, or give you a choice. Instead, they send you an Amazon Gift Card. That's OK if you're a big Amazon shopper, but sometimes, you can get a better price elsewhere.
