What better way to understand the mechanics of TV writing than to sit down with a TV writer and break down a script with them?
In this new virtual event series, the WGF Library team gathers acclaimed TV writers for the ultimate script dissection. Hosted by WGF Librarians Javier Barrios and Lauren O'Connor, we'll take a painstaking look at scripts on screen to analyze and learn about description, dialogue, character voice, text on screen, plus much more.
For this session, we examine the Ted Lasso pilot script with Co-Creator and Executive Producer Bill Lawrence. Learn how he (along with co-writer Jason Sudeikis) approached the introduction of the Apple TV+ series’ main characters and world, as well as how they set up stories to address during the first season.
Panel starts at 4:00pm Pacific time.
Space is limited so RSVP now. After signing up, you’ll receive information on how to access the Zoom panel.
