Running The Show

Who is the most important person on a television series? Many industry leaders will say it is the showrunner, the creative force who guides a series through a thousand decisions before any episode reaches the screen.

In this four-part Saturday workshop, veteran writer, producer and showrunner Todd Slavkin (Smallville, Shadowhunters, The Mysterious Benedict Society) takes writers inside the complete life of a television series, from the writers' room through prep, production and post-production. Each session covers one corner of the process, giving writers a full picture of how an episode moves from page to screen and what it takes to become a trusted member of a writing staff.
