NEW SCHOOL YEAR, NEW POSSIBILITIES

It’s that time of year again – the week before school starts back up.  It’s a hectic time – professors like me scrambling to get syllabi and lecture notes ready, students are scrambling to move back into dorms or apartments and stock up on textbooks and Ramen noodles.  But most of all, it’s an exciting time – especially for our television students.

30 students will each write an original half-hour comedy or drama pilot – and two of them will be produced with $10,000 budgets during the January interterm.  Another 40 or so students will be writing pilots for original web series – with four of the scripts chosen to have the pilot and 3 additional episodes produced and webcast. 

We’re like our own little TV station, cranking out series, sketches, news shows and documentaries.  The possibilities are limitless.  The creative energy and inspiration of our students is boundless.  It all starts back up a week from Monday.

On your mark, get set…CREATE!
