Prerequisites: MOT 2340

Writers Room is a screenwriting class exploring the principles and practices of the Hollywood writers room. Students will learn the creative concepts used by writing staffs to “break stories” and map season arcs. We will learn the responsibilities of each writer in the room, from a writer’s PA to Showrunner, and how they interact and function to create a successful room. We will study the cultures of current and past shows rooms. Students will write an episode of a show created in class.
