As we enter fall of 2025, the 2026 Fellowship Applications are right around the corner. Gasp! We know, but it will be here before you know it. If you're thinking about applying to one of the TV fellowships, now is the time to start thinking about getting your application together, and that includes drafting your original pilot submission.
Did you know that there are certain elements/qualities you can include in your pilot that the fellowships tend to look for? Join Roadmap and recent Disney TV Writing Program alum Sean Rivas for this webinar to learn all about what makes a strong pilot submission for the fellowships!

This 90 Minute Webinar Will Cover:
- The fellowship application process
- What they tend to look for in pilots
- Identifying what makes you stand out
- Live Q&A
Sean is a WGA TV writer and script consultant who recently wrote for GOOSEBUMPS: The Vanishing on Disney+/Hulu starring David Schwimmer. A Glendora, California native, he brings diverse perspectives to his storytelling as a half-Mexican, half-white, and 100% homosexual writer.
Prior to TV writing, Sean worked in documentary production and nonprofit marketing, collaborating with figures like Charlize Theron, Jane Goodall, and the Dalai Lama. This background taught him how to craft compelling narratives across different formats and audiences.
Sean has been fortunate to receive industry recognition, including being selected twice as a Mentee for the Read Latinx Writers Initiative, becoming a finalist for NBC's Writers on the Verge, and is an alum of the 2023 Disney TV Writing Program. He has also pitched projects to various studios and production companies.
Through his script consulting work, Sean enjoys helping fellow writers develop their ideas and navigate the industry. Having successfully gone through multiple fellowship programs himself, he understands both the challenges and opportunities that come with these competitive applications.
