Hollywood Literary Manager, Producer & Author Marilyn R. Atlas is conducting three exciting seminars for Berkshire Film and Media Collaborative in June
What’s Hot in Hollywood: The Current State of the Film and
Television Marketplace
Thursday, June 3, 6–8 pm ET
Atlas leads a two-hour in-depth exploration of what studios and producers are buying right now, focusing on the types of projects being “green lit” by film and television studios. She’ll share tips, tricks, tools, and tactics for participants to reach out to production companies and get their screenplays “seen,” addressing how those who don’t live in LA or NYC can get in the game, how streaming services have shifted the playing field, and other crucial topics including film contests, leveraging YouTube, and securing representation.

Perfect Pitch: Creating a Powerful Treatment and
Pitch Deck/Look Book
Thursday, June 10, 6–8 pm ET
In this workshop, Atlas elucidates two critical tools necessary to generate interest in a screenplay: the treatment and the pitch deck (aka look book). The class will review and discuss examples of treatments, and participants will have the rare opportunity to sharpen their tools and presentations by actually pitching their log lines to a Hollywood pro.

Navigating Character Arcs: Hone Your Script
by Deepening Your Character
Thursday, June 24, 6–8 pm ET
In this hands-on, interactive workshop, Atlas explains why writers must know their protagonists inside and out to give their scripts an authenticity that draws people in. She’ll examine how creating profound character arcs enables writers to refine their theme, strengthen their script, and make their mark as a storyteller.
