  2. WGF x Business of Creating Presents: Creating and Selling Short-Form Content
We at the WGF may have hit a pause on our live events, but thanks to technology, we’re aiming to provide more access to advice and knowledge from film and TV writers while we’re all social distancing. Over the last few months, we’ve been hosting free Zoom panels about craft and all things relevant to writers.

For this session, join Business of Creating for an interactive panel and Q&A with seasoned entertainment professionals to learn about short-form content: What is it and how do you create it? Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent creating content specifically for mobile phones that consumers watch exclusively on mobile devices.

Topics will include: What types of short-form platforms exist? For whom can you create content? What is unique about short form platforms from 3 perspectives: Content Creators, Advertisers, and Audiences? How do you write, produce and pitch to short-form platforms like TikTok, Quibi, YouTube? How do you market your projects both to and on short-form platforms?

Panelists:

Michael Fisk - Studio Marketing Exec. and Owner of InterMark Strategy & Consulting

Catherine Halaby - Entertainment Content Partnerships Lead, TikTok

Dan Heale - CEO, Way To Blue

Plus, more to be announced.

Moderated by Jennifer Mangan, Writer/Producer, Beautiful Day Productions

Panel starts at 4pm Pacific time.
