Writing a new script comes with so many emotions: excitement, joy, fear, etc. Of course it does! That first draft is the hardest part of any new project. But going into the draft with a rock solid outline and a strong support system makes the adventure all the easier. 

Join writer/producer Christina Walker for this special five week class to guide you through scripting your pilot! Each week will feature targeted feedback and guidance from Christina on your pages, your story and your characters. This class also features a one-on-one notes session with Christina for Week Two!

More about
Christina Walker
Writer/Producer

Born on a Naval base in Japan and raised in the military town of Virginia Beach, it always seemed life would take Christina to incredible places. After being stationed with her family for three years in Naples, Italy, she returned stateside seeing the world through a different set of eyes.

Armed with a talent for asking questions she pursued a career in broadcast journalism after obtaining her Mass Media degree from Henderson State University. She told stories by working in news for each of the major affiliates across the U.S.. However, yearning to return to her true passion, writing, she moved to Chicago to study Screenwriting and drove to LA two years later.

In 2016, this passion assisted in earning her a slot with the Disney/ABC Program staffing on the period piece Shondaland show Still Star-Crossed. This break gave her the unique opportunity of writing in NYC for the show, and traveling to Spain to produce two episodes of the series. Since the program Christina staffed on CBS’s action-thriller Salvation, Netflix’s supernatural family show October Faction, BET’s anthology series Tales, CW'S high-concept genre show The Flash, FOX’s action-packed drama 9-1-1: Lone Star, and most recently the edge-of-your-seat intense Amazon thriller Scarpetta.
