Pilot Script Lab
Write Your Pilot Script in Only 12 Weeks
You know you've got a great idea for a TV pilot.
You can see the characters, themes, scenes so clearly in your head.
But every time you try putting it on the page… you hit a wall. Writer's block sets up camp in your head.
And that unfinished pilot gets chucked in the bottom drawer, never to be seen again.
So, logically, you start doubting your talent- “Maybe a career in TV isn’t right for me?”
Stop right there. You DO have what it takes.
You just need the support and guidance of an experienced showrunner to demystify the process so you can write your pilot quickly and easily.
