Film School - U-M Pilot Production: Behind the Scenes

Robert Rayher and Oliver Thornton, University of Michigan Film, Television and Media LecturersYou don’t need a big budget to produce your own pilot. Learn how U-M’s filmmakers have turned their attention to the small screen. Having already produced notable TV industry showrunners, U-M is teaching students how to break into the biz by creating a show of their own—from pilot presentation and script to finished project. Instructors and students from the pilot class (incl. the area's own Mario Cassem) answer questions and give tips on what it takes to bring your own pitch to life.
