“TV Writing: The Inner Workings” with Producers Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider
Diane and Andrew will discuss the unique, collective writing process of television: how a staff is assembled (what we look for in a writer); how the writers’ room functions; how a story develops from idea to outline to script (including the difference between adaptation and original material); and finally, how a script is impacted by the constraints of production.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider started writing and producing television together on the Fox series “AlienNation.” They won Emmy, Golden Globe and Peabody awards for their work on CBS’ “Northern Exposure”; they won Emmy and Writers Guild awards for producing HBO’s “The Sopranos.” Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider co-created and produced Showtime’s “The Chris Isaak Show” and WB’s “Easy Money.” They recently served as co-executive producers of HBO’s “Boardwalk Empire”.
