On Set Series ~ FAM

August 29, 2018

On Set Series provides you with an opportunity to see live studio tapings of current sitcom shows. As a writer, this experience will be both educational and beneficial to your own writing. If you are a TV/Feature/New Media writer, you can always learn from those who are actually working on a show; live action.

You will attend as an observer only; as part of the audience. You will not be able to interact with those on the set as they are working, so take a notepad and pen and take plenty of notes.

Observe how the director directs each of the scenes. Note the actors and how they act out the written word? Listen to the audience responses, did they come at the right time, etc.? Is there something that did not work with the audience? If so, how did the director/producer/writer make the change, what did they do? There are plenty more ways to observe, learn and then apply what you have seen to your own writing projects.

These shows are free to attend, however, you must RSVP and follow the Studio rules and information below.

**Please note that each guest and/or attendee needs to REGISTER individually.

Written by Corinne Kingsbury, Fam is about a woman whose dreams of an upstanding life with her new fiancé, Jay (Bell), and his upstanding family are dashed when her train-wreck younger half sister (Adlon) comes to live with her to escape their train wreck of a father. Bell will play Jay, a sophisticated NYU history professor who comes from old money but is refreshingly unaffected and down-to-earth despite his refined background. Deeply in love with Clem (Dobrev), he proposes to her — much to the delight of his parents, Walt (Mitchell) and Rose (Ralph), who think Clem is a real catch. But he learns that Clem has not been completely honest about a few key elements in her life: For example, her father isn’t actually dead — and it drives a wedge of mistrust between them that might not be easily mended.
