TV Writing Programs and Fellowships ft. Andy Mathieson, Jenny Deiker Restivo and Thomas Reyes (PT85)
Paper Team - A podcast by Alex Freedman & Nick Watson
Alex and Nick invite three fellows of the network TV writing programs to discuss their experiences applying, being selected, and participating in the curricula.
Guests include Andy Mathieson from the 2016 Disney/ABC Writing Program, Jenny Deiker Restivo from the 2018 FOX Writers Lab, and Thomas Reyes from the 2016 Warner Bros. Television Writers' Workshop.
What is the selection process of the TV writing programs? What are the interview rounds like? What are the fellowships' requirements? What can you learn in the writing programs? What are some common misconceptions about them? How do you get the most out of the experience?
The Paper Team applies themselves...
