Sitcom 101 Writing Class with LaMont Ferrell

Have you ever watched your favorite TV episode and said to yourself, "I could write that." Or have you always had an idea for your own sitcom series, but didn't know how to write it or even the steps on how to get started? Well,
after writing professionally for over 15 years on hit sitcoms such as Girlfriends, Tyler Perry's House of Payne and Let's Stay Together I've decided to pass on my years of experience within the entertainment industry through my
own writing class. With my Sitcom 101 Writing Class I will teach you the A,B,C's of how to write comedic stories for television. Not only will you learn story structure, the writing process and comedic timing, but each student will write and COMPLETE THEIR OWN SPEC SCRIPT!!! You will be able to use this script as a writing sample for staffing on a show, freelance work, secure an agent or even shoot your pilot yourself!!! Atlanta is fast becoming the Hollywood of the South with dozens of shows being shot here such as The Game, Single Ladies and Let's Stay Together.  So, if you want to learn how to become a TV writer stop talking about it and sign up today!! Remember, if you can dream
it, you can achieve it.
