TFS gave me the ability to get into the writer’s mind when I watch a show, and provided me with an understanding of how a TV series is made.
Jhanik Bullard, Writing for Film & TV ’18
Showrunner’s Assistant, Coroner
I learned the craft inside out, whether it was writing a television pilot, a web series, or a feature film. TFS was a very good experience all around.
