Stage 32 is eager to welcome Jason and Jamie Neese! Elevate your writing by breaking down and learning from a script that has led to massive success.
Inside the zeitgeist of television is another more exclusive shelf. This is reserved for shows, the very select few, that connect on a deeper level with the audience and become legends. Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Breaking Bad -- some need multiple seasons to acquire this standing, like a Shameless, and some are instant.
The Bear was instant.
It captured the country's imagination. The hardware collected from its first season was equally matched by the enthusiasm of a very broad audience’s instant addiction to it. How the show achieved this is what we are going to discuss today. And it all starts with the pilot script.
This one is a masterclass in mixing comedy and drama up into a seriously legit pilot script that contains all the great elements needed.
The creative decisions and instincts of the writers, actors, directors, and ultimately, taste of the showrunner is part of this. But the other part is being savvy enough to know which classic elements of storytelling to use for a particular script. This is the fun part, because it can be achieved by any writer who focuses on how to incorporate them organically into their own stories. It’s not some secret Latin math equation that only a few have access to.

Sydney S At first I was expecting 'projected slides', but I enjoyed that the presentation was conversational, personal and so giving. As someone writing from South Africa I've always been intrigued about the writing process from other countries. I got a glimpse of that, the character development, writing process, structure and pitching process.
