The Industry Workshops

Love your workshops at CBS Studios! Went to one on pitching and it was «the shot in the arm» that I needed. I got great feedback on my show and presenter Jon Lee Smith was inspiring!
Thank you!

I have been to three of the Industry Workshops and all of them were definitely worth the price of admission! The guest speakers were all working industry professionals that came prepared with info that I could understand and apply. They really took the time to answer everyone’s questions too. I definitely will be attending more workshops in the future!

My experience today with Industry Workshops was strong and positive enough that I am actually writing a review the very same day as the event. (I’m a week after Unilocaler)
Today’s was «How to Package and Sell a TV Show», and the guest speaker was John Smith from HopLite. This guy is a BEAST. One of the biggest kudos I can give, is that John is secure enough to share ACTUAL, WORKING, USEFUL (insert other positive adjectives here) insider information! And some of it was the total opposite of the information that we first timers have been getting. Not only did he tell us «what», he told us «why» and it all made total smack-​on-​the-​forehead – aha!” sense.
Really glad I found this group, and am very much looking forward to attending future events.

I went to a workshop today hosted by Peter and Cecilia Russel. It was amazing! So far i have spent a lot of money and time on screenwriting courses, and this morning I learned more in 3 hours than i have in full courses, and it was only$ 35! What they say makes sense, and is applicable to most genres. I can’t recommend this enough!

Went to my first workshop today. Excellent speaker on Creativity today. Worked well for seasoned professionals and those just entering the entertainment field. Very nice folks running the event. Sounds like many more relevant, interesting workshops are on their way. Also kind of fun having the workshops on the CBS Radford lot in Studio City. Easy parking on the lot too.

This is an insightful and helpful program with both theoretical advice for people just getting started in filmmaking and practical guidance for filmmakers (or screenwriters) entrenched in a particular project.
I highly recommend it — they seek to get excellent instructors and it’s definitely helped me.
