Verticals! The newest medium making waves in the entertainment industry. Hundreds of verticals were developed, shot, and released in America last year, and that number shows no sign of slowing this year. There's no mistaking it - verticals are a great way to get your foot in the door and get something made as a writer.
But actually writing one is a different ball game than our standard pilot or feature. What do the producers need from you, the writer? And how can you network with other people making verticals and make those connections?
This 90 Minute Webinar Will Cover:
- Writing a vertical drama
- Producing a vertical drama
- Networking in the vertical space
- Live Q&A
