What’s Included
1. 3-Month Guided Cohort Journey
This is not a self-paced experience you forget halfway through. The cohort is designed to move participants forward step by step, with a clear process that helps them turn ideas into an actual screenplay.
2. Group Online Sessions
Participants will join live online group sessions designed to guide them through each stage of development. These sessions create momentum, clarity, and community while helping filmmakers keep moving.
3. Access to TYS Online Course 2.0
Participants will receive access to TYS Online Course 2.0, giving them the core training, tools, and lessons needed to support their writing and development journey.
4. Limited Feedback Loops
Participants will receive focused feedback at key stages. This keeps the process sharp and useful, while avoiding the paralysis that comes from too much scattered feedback.
5. Pitch Deck Development
Participants will create a pitch deck that helps them communicate their project professionally and clearly.
6. Pitch Training
A strong story is not enough if you cannot present it well. The cohort includes guidance on how to pitch the project with clarity, confidence, and intention.
7. Financing Strategy
Participants will learn how to think about financing in a practical way, so they can begin to understand how their project may be structured, positioned, and prepared for support.
