The CineStory Podcast

Are we living in a golden age of TV? Two writer-producers and one rep with clients working in TV discuss how to land that first staff job, what types of material showrunners will consider and what opportunities currently exist for writers looking to work in TV.

Ever wondered how the pros do it? Here's your chance to hear working Hollywood writers share advice, tools and methods for mastering the craft of screenwriting. Featuring Philip Eisner, Jonathan Fernandez, Glenn Gers, Meg LeFauve and Pat Verducci.

Another gem from our 2011 Retreat! Just in time for Valentine's Day, this discussion explores the importance of writing from heart as well as maintaining a consistent tone, executing exciting set pieces and much more.

Recorded at the 2011 Retreat, this podcast features two literary managers discussing strategies for writing scripts that sell, spec'ing TV shows, as well as finding and working with a manager or agent.

CineStory is delighted to be launching its podcast series with this Q&A session with previous CineStory Screenwriting Awards winner and mentor, Mark Fergus.

Recorded at a live event held in Los Angeles in 2011, this Academy Award nominee discusses his work on CHILDREN OF MEN, IRON MAN and COWBOYS AND ALIENS as well as answering questions about working with producers and pitching strategies.

Thanks to Mark for participating in the session and for sharing his screenwriting tips and experience. Thanks also to composer Don Bodin for use of his track Home.

CineStory is a nonprofit organization dedicated to mentoring screenwriters. It runs an annual competition featuring over 20k in cash and prizes, including a 12-month fellowship program. The top 20 writers from each competition are invited to an exclusive 4-day writers retreat where they work one-on-one with Hollywood pros like Mark Fergus.
