He’ll show you how reality television producers write, shoot, and edit. But most importantly, you’ll learn the secrets to transforming video duds into dynamite.

So, bring one of your worst case studies (even if it’s not video – that’s fine), and you’ll leave with a re-worked story and a shooting script. A script you can re-edit, re-publish and see the re-sults.
