HAPPY WRITERS HAVE SAID...
Eliot Schwartz
"I always enjoyed writing but I would get discouraged and move on from projects when I hit creative walls. Through working with Tristen I learned a "process" that took my writing from scattered to focused. I have now developed pilots and films with a major studio using her teachings."
Leslie-Anne Huff
“Tristen is someone who I really trust to give me great advice about the business. She's a woman who knows what she's talking about. So smart and FUN to work with. Her writing sessions are so informative and well planned out. I still use what I've learned from her every time I work on my own projects! Invaluable!”
Sheila Carrasco
“In just two 2-hour sessions, Tristen taught me everything I would have learned in an eight week TV writing course, at a fraction of the cost. She knows how to write both from character and from premise. She makes learning this stuff fun and exciting. And she never wastes a second of your time!”
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS...
Intensives meet three times for 2-hour sessions.
20 minute planning call with your instructor before your first session to talk about where you are in the process - sessions will be tailored to your current needs.
1-3 people. You can sign up on your own and get your instructor all to yourself, or bring a friend and split the costs.
Show up to your first session with a full idea or just a character you'd like to play. You'll be given tools to flesh out the rest.
Sessions will be spread out according to your personal schedule and pace. Sessions expire one year from purchase.
THIS IS PERFECT FOR YOU IF...
You're ready to create your own content but don't know where to start. I'll give you the tools you need to produce a personal vehicle you're proud of. Without the overwhelm or "perfection monster" creeping in.
You're an experienced writer but need a repeatable writing process. Tried of waiting for lightning to strike? A confident, professional writer is able to sit down and produce work when they need to. Let's strip away the magic and get a clear writing strategy.
