We’re back in the Writers’ Room for the Script Breakdown with Nick Phillips. We breakdown produced screenplays focusing on a different aspect of writing every webcast. Join us as Nick breaks down the iconic script, The Godfather.
During this Breakdown Webcast, Megan will discuss self producing your work and why it’s a good idea! Meghan was a staff writer on HBO’s Emmy-Nominated comedy series, "SILICON VALLEY". Her work has also appeared on Cartoon Network’s "POWER PLAYERS".
Dramedy is a compelling genre to write because many argue it best captures the realities of life. There are comedic moments in some of the most tragic of times and dramatic moments that give way to levity. During the webcast, we examine some of the most critically and commercially successful dramedies - including "FLEABAG", PARENTHOOD (1989), THE BIG SICK, and SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK to understand why they work so well. We also discuss ways in which you can develop your characters and narratives so that your dramedy is as authentic as possible.
