Learn to write for the market while keeping your unique voice and vision in tact from a producer and manager that has worked with Sam Rockwell and Jane Fonda

In the fast-paced and ever-evolving landscape of Hollywood, simply writing a great script is no longer enough to guarantee success. The industry now demands that you not only craft compelling stories but also align their concepts with market demands. As studios and producers become increasingly selective, understanding what the market wants has become crucial for any writer aspiring to see their work on the big screen. This webinar is designed to address this very challenge, offering you the insights and strategies needed to marry your creative vision with the realities of the marketplace.

You may find yourself stuck after completing a well-written script that garners praise but fails to attract representation or production interest. The frustration of hitting this wall often stems from a disconnect between your creative vision and what the industry is currently seeking. Understanding the marketplace and adapting to its demands is a significant hurdle, as it requires both research and a nuanced understanding of Hollywood's preferences. Writers often struggle with identifying why their scripts aren’t gaining traction, even when the quality of the writing is high, because the concept may not align with current industry trends.

Leading this webinar is Kate Sharp, a producer and literary manager at Bellevue Productions. She is producing THE BURNING SEASON with Naomi Watts and STRANGER THINGS’ Sophia Lillis. Prior to joining Bellevue, Kate was the VP of Development and Production at Occupant Entertainment, where she was the Executive Producer on the Hulu original, Emmy-nominated TV series BEHIND THE MASK. Her film credits include PEEP WORLD, BETTER LIVING THROUGH CHEMISTRY, MADAME BOVARY, and THE HALLOW. She also produced short-form content for Showtime, MTV, Verizon, Facebook, and U2.

In this exclusive online webinar, participants will gain a clear understanding of how to align their creative vision with market demands.

I'm hoping you are planning to pitch sessions again at some point for Stage32. Kicking myself for not catching you last time. I have two rom-coms and a horror/thriller/groundedscifi (which I am rewriting) - I'd love to pitch one of them to you at some point.
