Most writers come to their first TV pilot thinking it's basically a shorter movie. It's not. And that assumption will cost you months of work on a script that was never going to land.
Writing a TV pilot is its own thing -- structurally different from a feature, built to do a job a feature never has to do. In this video I break down the biggest myths about writing a pilot, what your pilot actually needs to accomplish, practical tips for getting it right, and the one concept every great TV protagonist needs. Without it, your show doesn't make it past six episodes.
If you're writing a TV pilot -- or thinking about it -- this one's for you.
