Every TV series and feature film begins with a script. And that script will have been written by a writer. The writer starts with a blank page and through the sheer force of their imagination, possibly fueled by a hot beverage, they tap out a story – half-hour comedy, hour-long drama, movie of the week, feature film – that will move an audience. A career in TV and Film writing is a career immersed in the art of storytelling.  

The TV and Film Industry in Canada and around the world is massive and growing each year with the consumer’s appetite for content insatiable. Producers, broadcasters, and streamers are all hungry for fresh ideas, new voices. There has never been a better time than now to be a writer in TV and Film.
