Скачать или смотреть TV Writer Dean Batali On What Films Schools Get Wrong

Showrunner and veteran TV writer Dean Batali (That '70s Show) shares his thoughts on why film schools are failing aspiring television writers. He explains that schools should be putting writers in a room to break stories together—just like in a real writers' room.

Dean talks about the importance of writing spec scripts of existing shows, even if the industry is focused on original pilots. He says you need to learn how to write in someone else’s voice, and that real growth comes from writing a ton of pages—your first scripts will suck, and that’s part of the process.

He recommends writing a script in six weeks, then doing it again and again. He shares how a friend wrote seven scripts in two years at USC, and why that kind of output is essential.

Interview filmed in 2019.
