TV Pilot Boot Camp

Learn how to turn an idea into a TV script and long-running series. Over the six session intensive, students watch and discuss pilots from popular, acclaimed shows, analyze the scripts, and discover what makes the show work, how they succeed and how they fail. Students will then take what they’ve learned and apply that to their own ideas, assembling an outline for the pilot and even writing the teaser and first act.

Playwriting Boot Camp

NHSI Playwriting faculty will guide students through a fast paced, distance-based playwriting process. Email correspondence will begin 1-2 weeks before the session with guided brainstorming assignments and material to read.  We will then hit the ground writing and finish our 5-day intensive with a first draft of a 10-minute play. Schedule will include one 60-90-minute group Zoom session per day. At the end of the boot camp, students will be able to use their 10-minute play draft to apply to the Summer Playwriting Intensive if they choose.

This year, we are offering two sessions!
