TV Writing: Creating the Episodic Engine

This month Cleveland International Film Festival is excited to launch a new masterclass series for film arts creatives. Deep Focus: Where Craft Meets Industry, will bring experts in film and television right to you for virtual sessions that blend skill building and storytelling for creatives of all levels.

If you’ve ever wondered what goes into creating prestige television shows like THE PITT and HACKS, our first session is for you. We’re kicking off the series this month with TV Writing: Creating the Episodic Engine on June 25.

Award-winning writer and director J.D. Shields (Emperor of Ocean Park on MGM+ and The Company You Keep on ABC) will guide a conversation and Q&A on creating a standout television series.
