Fascinating Characters in the Time of Netflix—A Workshop with Award-Winning Producer Marilyn Atlas

Presented by Gemini Ink Writing Arts Center at Gemini Ink Writing Arts Center

Spend an evening with LA producer and Talent Manager Marilyn Atlas, as she offers an insider’s look into the world of book-to-TV projects, TV screen-playing, and creating those memorable characters and scenes that everyone wants to binge-watch. Atlas will offer user-friendly advice, hands-on guidance, and an industry pro’s know-how and passion to discuss a range of techniques to take your screenplays and prose projects to the next level. In her workshop, you will learn:

tactics to combat writers’ block
practical ways to reanimate how you approach a scene or outlines of a scene
methods to create natural, conversational dialogue derived from a specific point-of-view
how interesting characters actually are co-creators in the writing process.
techniques for how to incorporate subtext into writing your screenplay or prose piece

Special opportunity: All participants will have a chance to pitch some of their TV and prose projects to Marilyn during the last portion of this workshop and receive feedback on how to make their pitch compelling and ready for the professional TV and literary worlds.
Who is this workshop for? Screenplay and prose writers of all levels interested in finding out more about the professional world of writing and screenplays and are ready to adopt some new approaches to how they write.
