Regarding relationships of the characters, I agree that all characters should have some type of relationship with all the characters of the show, but why is so important that male/female leads of a show have to have a sexual relationship/tension? Example: Benson/Stabler.

Interestingly, I remember reading about how Vince Gilligan and the team wrote Breaking Bad- allegedly, in the last season, they didn't always know how they were going to incorporate the machine gun at the end. They thought it was cool, then had to figure out how to make it pay off in the end.

Kesha Ya

The characters and their relationships with each other evolve but the endgame is that the villain gains power in the end.

Kesha Ya

Is anyone interested? Any thoughts or ideas about it?

Agnieszka Baczkowska-Maśluszczak

LOST suffered from the network's mandate to stretch its run longer than the writer's original plan. So they had to divert from character and burn through plot. By the time the ending came, the audience was a mix of early Lost fans (character driven) and late Lost fans (plot driven) and of course, the end is what the writers hoped it would be in the beginning, so the late fans felt "betrayed" by the character driven ending.

Amanda Toney

Sajani, I think it would be great as a show. You will have more time to explore the characters, themes, etc. if it's a show.

Kesha Ya

Amanda Toney the friend fails to stop the villain who becomes more powerful than anyone thought he could be. The ending is that the villain gains power but after the friend dies knowing that he failed their friendship but fighting against the villain.

Kesha Ya

Anyone who wants to work on this with me, let me know! It would be so fun!

0524246610f879482d687d76e39427f5

maybe have one of the characters have a dispute with keira or a rivalry between the coaches in the pilot, to push the viewers to guess who is the killer

someone inside the studio is trying to cover up the murder to avoid the bad publicity

Sheila Lynch Rinear

We find out Erica and Beth are close friends and Beth has been trying to work for Erica for years.

Shakeema Simpson

Erika was killed by the couple; Xavier,etc

d179dda3ed8a95a97355dd8bc48e7b74

Maybe it was the keto diet :)

Uju Odiah

what if kera did suicide? and all the suspects had mentally damaged here even if they did not want to but they subconsciously did

Sheila Lynch Rinear

In the beginning Xani is just an incident businessman who helps run the gym. But eventually we find out he is a former hitman.

Shakeema Simpson

I mean, kira is killed by either Erica or Xavier because she knows something she isn't meant to know

Justina Ashley

Discover that Erica's doping was a set up or rather that she had not been doping intentionally and someone else somehow faked the fact that she was doping.

Hannes Kivilaht

Which characters may benefit from Keira's death?

f56ae95c8f58c172c4fb3cdd94a8b29b

A malevolent spirit that followed and killed Keira due to a family coverup. Beth becomes a suspect due to her ties to the family that Keira hid secrets from.

28610d79a54a715e198a6253f7cbe8ce

Establish that all characters had motives for killing Kira. Maybe she was having an affair with Avi. Perhaps Erica was selling steroids and Kira found out.

ae7a32c611dc432528f118c0a5aa9abe

they meant to kill someone else.. Beth or Erica

a127b2f7a7cfcfa8bc4d7c7b36205cbc

Do they rely on the police or hire a private investigator?

Lucretia Stenson

What is the level of Beths newness to the type of work or to the area. Each one a suspect it could be a case of Xavi exercising his 2 face nature, knowing that Erica has a past it is easier for him to escape his wife by framing her over something she is technically involved in as the boss of Erica.

he makes off with Beth, or tries.

9d06c0df46e2a79eb5a4df5dea5a132d

We move forward in time

f56ae95c8f58c172c4fb3cdd94a8b29b

The second option.

0d8b63f803e2b07c31b17ecf0915ab71

Kira's death is teaser -go back

Tammy Westbrook

We go forward from Kiera's death, and learn more about her from the other characters

MoMo Matsunyane

Actually, I'd rather mix present with flashbacks - like HTGAWM

ae7a32c611dc432528f118c0a5aa9abe

neither. go forward

9d06c0df46e2a79eb5a4df5dea5a132d

In a different setting altogether

Lucretia Stenson

is a mix between the two possible??

e4a8f783e35b4c2c448163f8c359acda

Flashback will be great

d21f470867f9b5484ffda43c5bcac56c

both, we don't have to know there was a murder until moving forward is frustrated ...

Justina Ashley

If you're not going to reveal the murderer by the end of the pilot, then going back would be a good way to go.

Balarama Munoz Medina

I like the move forward. I am actually writing a series where a death happens and we move forward to reveal things.

f56ae95c8f58c172c4fb3cdd94a8b29b

77f3de894ca3d299c292804f5201b932

How does Beth benefit from Kiara's death? Would it pit her against her boss, Erica, as a competitor?

How would the investigation prevent Erica's business to continue to grow? *This is giving me Veronica Mars vibes!

How does Xavi use the suspicion against Erica to get what he wants? Has he been looking for a reason to separate, and this is the last straw? Is his "heart of ice" cruel or calculating?

Karen "Kay" Ross

I like the Eric escort thing.

af1da3e1445b2e90caa3641219ca8fbe

Hi all. I'm a writer, actor and director from the UK and I’m happy to connect. My first film (but it's complicated :)) is premiering in London next month. For more info visit https://impact50film.com.

Sheila Lynch Rinear

Erica finds out Xavi and Kiara had an affair

28610d79a54a715e198a6253f7cbe8ce

Kira takes a pregnancy test and learns that she is pregnant.. We see her tell the father of her child (via phone call) that she's pregnant, but we don't find out who the father is.

a127b2f7a7cfcfa8bc4d7c7b36205cbc

Xavi is Ciara's brother, but he doesn't know it.

77f3de894ca3d299c292804f5201b932

@Marcin - Ooo, I really like the idea that they may hire a PI!

f56ae95c8f58c172c4fb3cdd94a8b29b

She had a hand in the murder of a stranger. She had no choice in order to save herself and her family, but it eventually came back to get her.

8b0b45cfda0bb50e950c5af773be0191

Erica quit her old spin cycle company and took a lot of subscribers with her to the new company

4163a5cc58a27590d96afe45decb35b5

We see glimpses of Beth around from the start.

fccc949a0ff9a40ec107a97ec847cd58

Kira has health issues, which the killer takes advantage of, almost inspiring them to kill, so they can cover it up easier

25a6a479e3fcae3335a0ef6b80d58440

Looking forward to getting the handouts. The one she showed us live about where story ideas for the series and pilot are generated is great!

4af732b24e40562a29e5a71a1206a133

The show is in Beth's POV. A month ago, Beth sees Erica being so mean to Keira but never knows why. Because of this, Erica becomes the main suspect. Everyone believes it to be her. By the end of the pilot, a huge evidence will be revealed that points to Erica. For the next episodes, even when Beth t...

Justina Ashley

What is instagram? :-)

Maybe the murder leads to a wider conspiracy about a chain of gyms that double as cults. Maybe the bikes are used in a satanic ritual that the people are unaware they are participating in

Keira is really an alien who goes from body to body until they are not needed anymore

Adi Tantimedh

This was a helpful good time, and actionably useful for me; I gained both lots of new insights and also reinforcement of things I know / have learned along the way. It helped shake loose a way to make my current pilot much more compelling (I'm going to take an idea I was saving for Ep 2 - a huge "ho...

I hope everyone enjoyed yesterday! What were some of your favorite takeaways? I uploaded the on-demand for you to watch, as well as the handouts and resource sheet that you can find underneath the on demand video. Enjoy!

I had to leave early yesterday but was just able to catch up by watching the replay. Such a great webinar with helpful information as I am polishing a couple of drama pilots to submit for labs and fellowships. Thank you!

@d'anthony johnson I use Final Draft for writing my scripts and Writer's Room Pro for boarding them.

Andrea Kelly

@h-d messias I like to start with just a logline, then expand out to the characters, and then start thinking about the pilot. Good luck!

Andrea Kelly

@phiwa sukumane Not every story is going to have happy vibes - do what's organic to your story!

Andrea Kelly

@Vikki Harris, I don't think male/female leads have to have sexual tension - look at Don and Peggy on Mad Men! That being said, it's an easy source of conflict/story.

Andrea Kelly

@Donald Jacobs I have not, but I pitched an interactive show - they're tough sells, but so cool!

Andrea Kelly

@yasila cabrejos I think the characters can still have feminist viewpoints and goals while operating within the strictures of society at the time.

Andrea Kelly

@alistair shwartz It depends on the structure of the story! Closed-ended is better for film, open-ended is better for TV.

Andrea Kelly

@fawaz azim There are a lot of ways, from breaking in as a writers assistant to developing a reputation as another kind of writer. But basically, I like the Steve Martin saying of "be so good, they can't ignore you."

Andrea Kelly

@katherine king No need to add act breaks for streaming!

Andrea Kelly

@sajani fernando You definitely need an author's permission to use ANY of their work! And I think any plot twist that provides a genuine surprise is an effective one!

Andrea Kelly

For those asking about directing your show, it's definitely possible, but unless you're very established as a director, likely won't happen until the show is a success.

Andrea Kelly

@isabelle doucette My current room is still on Zoom but more and more are returning to in person - really depends on the showrunner's preference!

Andrea Kelly

@kristen kuhns That's unlikely for a project you wrote the pilot for but very possible if you're the author of a book etc. that's adapted for tv.

Andrea Kelly

@samuel tracton The fellowships and certain script contests like Austin Film Festival are great for that! Also calling in favors.

Amanda Toney

Thanks for answering the questions, Leila. I like that saying by Steve Martin. Have a great, creative week!

+OK
