In the past decade, the number of TV shows has more than doubled. With more platforms and modes of consuming content than ever before, screenwriting has become a showcase for the world's best writers. In this course, we will watch and analyze contemporary shows in a variety of genres to explore themes such as identity, friendship, rivalries, romantic relationships, competition, race, socioeconomic status, and gender. Students will conduct close readings of shows, analyze the craft of writing for the screen, construct original arguments about the writers' choices, and practice industry skills such as pitching. Students will learn the behind-the-scenes of screenwriting and will then write their own show pitch intended for a digital media platform of their choosing. At the conclusion of the course, students will have the chance to learn about continuing in the industry through internship opportunities, screenwriting competitions, and entry-level jobs.
