But what are the main differences between the short form series and other forms of storytelling and what to keep in mind while creating your own short form series?

THE PITCH REALIZATION
 
This workshop will share with the writer some best practices on how to create and document their best version of a character driven series. By asking the right questions and looking at your series using the character's goals and motivations versus the plot, you will be able to create a professional looking pitch document that will allow a buyer to easily decide whether or not your show is right for their streaming service or network.
