Overview
About the Program
By graduation, students of the Writing for Film and Television program of Emerson College will have a complete portfolio of professional-caliber work. Each semester begins with a six-day residency, alternating between our Boston and LA locations, where students engage in:
- Master classes;
- Seminars;
- Screenings;
- Intensive workshops;
- Peer group workshops; and
- Guest lectures, staged readings, and pitch sessions.
At the end of each residency, you will return home ready to begin writing, participating in online workshops, and attending virtual meetings with your advisor and peers. You will enroll in one online topics course per semester to supplement and contextualize the skills learned in your writing workshops.
