Hello from Colorado - working in New Mexico.

Dave de Burgh

As a novelist, one of the many things that really works (from what Anna has been saying) is that the writer has to know everything about everything, but the viewer doesn't have to - and if a viewer does, them being proved right (or prescient) is usually a very enjoyable event.

Thank you so much for this workshop, it was really useful! My question is: Would it be possible for a pilot to convey a genre, and slowly through the series shift it to another genre? The secondary genre comes from the background of the setting and overtakes the original one. Thanks again!

Woaw ! Such a fantastic treasure trove of infos.

I'm not really a writer, I'm a freelance animation film director (although I mostly do shorts, but I'm now looking to start my first TV series). I'm a pretty instinctual guy, and throughout my career, I mostly figured out quite a few of the points Anna...

Awesome webinar - thank you to everyone who made it possible. :)

I just did your Stage 32 + Netflix TV Pilot Story Structure Webinar. Excellent.

I tried to duplicate the url you provided in the CHAT on how a writer can submit work to Netflix and url didn't work.

Amanda, can you please repeat the url and/or provide me with a link? Thanks.

Maurice Vaughan

Great webinar! Thanks for the info and your time, Anna. Looking forward to the others!

Lisa Isaacson

Amanda Toney I'm SO bummed, I had to work and could only stay on for the first hour - so I didn't get the surprise at the end. Can you tell me what it was?

Jessica Lei Osburn-Davis

Greenbrier, Tennessee!

Maurice Vaughan

I got off of the webinar before the end, Lisa Isaacson. I wonder what the surprise is also.

Dan Calvisi

The surprise was a free month sub to their Writer's Room group. I don't remember the link, sorry.

Richard "RB" Botto

Couldn't be more grateful to Anna, Chris Mack at Netflix, and my entire Stage 32 team for what has been one informative and inspiring day. And, of course, entirely grateful to the 26,000 creatives and pros who have signed up for this webcast and the thousands that attended today and brought so much positive energy and phenomenal questions to the proceedings. Much love to you all.

Lisa Isaacson and @Maurice - The surprise was a free month in the Writers' Room.

Amanda Toney - I'm not finding the PDFs of the Story Maps. I'm sure it's user error.

Thanks, Victoria. I'm part of the Writers' Room. There's so much in there for writers and other professionals.

Thank you SO much everyone for all the love!!! I am humbled by all of you tuning in from around the world and your kind comments. How awesome is it that we can connect through storytelling as one big human family. A shoutout to those of you tuning in from Hungary, my birthplace, and to my LA peeps! I'll try to answer questions on here or please message me.

Much love Anna, I value your time spent with us and the passion you convey for this craft through which you teach. :) listening to you was inspiring.

@Alastair Swartz "what is the best advice for writing from personal experience? / actual life events" Do it! A few words of advice... Think about the ways in which your life experience is universal.

@Bryan Wright "How would you pitch a series of different 60 min films? Example: Black Mirror, Twilight Zone, Amazing Stories?" That is an anthology series. They're becoming popular! They need to have some common threads in terms of genre, themes and tone. The episodes need to be palpably connected,...

@Tom Demar "Does every subplot need to resolve by the end of the pilot?" Definitely not resolve, but come to some kind of stopping point. Don't leave it with what seems like an unfinished scene. A lot of times that means a nice reaction beat. Take a look at how Joel's departure is handled in Mrs. Ma...

I’ve tried various kinds of techniques throughout the years to develop characters organically, yet these techniques tend to make them come out acting rigidly and untrue to how I might have envisioned them in my mind’s eye on an emotional and instinctual level. This is especially true for characters...

Great session. Quick question Anna. What do you do when you start off writing a 10 part web series. The pilot generates active interest but the feedback also is 'this can be a great two-hour movie'. In such a situation would you recommend pivoting into the new reality or staying the course. Facing the predicament presently.

Agnes Arriaza

Hello! I haven’t received the story map. Where can I have access to it? Thanks.

Loved Anna Marton's master class. (webinar)her knowledge, her style , her structure, the clarity and the specifics, and the comms . Your presentation served me well in evaluating my own scripts, see the areas of opportunity, evaluate them overall. For me it was a very good exercise in that way. I will see this webinar every time I finish a script next year and I am currently working in one.

@Julian Thadathil Ask questions. Actually, any time you get feedback you don't know what to do with or that doesn't quite make sense, ask questions. Why do they think this? If it were a movie, would they be interested in developing / producing / financing it? (Because if yes, then maybe you do pivot...
