Taelor clay
Cohort VI (Class of 2017)
Working on: Unannounced HBO Series
Position: Writer's Assistant/Researcher
How did TVWS prepare you?
The work I'm doing now is exactly what I was doing preparing our class pilot with Bill. I was so relieved when I walked into the writer's room on my first day and I saw color-coded character arcs on flash cards, lined up in columns to track the acts. Thanks, Bill.
Danielle HEcht
Cohort VI (Class of 2017)
Working on: FX Network's Pose (Premieres 6/3/18)
Position: Office Production Assistant
How did TVWS prepare you?
My biggest takeaway came from shooting the script during the 2nd year winter intensive. I gained a greater sense of the scale of a production and what really goes into it from conception of the script to the final edited product. I also learned a lot about the different positions on set and what each department contributes.

Working on: FX Network's Pose (Premieres 6/3/18)
Position: Office Production Assistant
How did TVWS prepare you?
It gave me insight on TV production. The TVWS taught me about the paperwork, the vocabulary, and hierarchy involved with the TV & Film industry. I was able to navigate call sheets, one-liners, DOODs, and Production reports because of the TVWS.

Norman made the connection to Jeff so that was the biggest thing. Other than that, just learning the ropes of what it's like to collaborate/work in a room of writers, no egos etc.
