A fellow writer emailed me a link to Pilar Alessandra's On The Page: Script Consultation and Screenwriting Classes site. If you have attended one of Pilar's lectures or classes, I'd love to hear from you regarding your experience. Email HollywoodUniversityBlog@gmail.com.
On The Page provides ongoing classes, workshops and private consultations for screenwriters and television writers at all levels. Pilar Alessandra takes a "dig into pages" approach, inspiring students to write or rewrite their stories in a matter of weeks. Students and clients have sold to Disney, DreamWorks, Warner Bros and Sony, and have won prestigious competitions such as the Austin Film Festival Screenwriting Competiion and the Nicholl Fellowship.
Pilar Alessandra jump-started her career in film as a script reader for Amblin Entertainment. With the formation of DreamWorks, she became Senior Story Analyst and a reader liaison between the studio and Robert Zemeckis's company, ImageMovers. Her expert script analysis was also sought out by The Robert Evans Company, Cineville Entertainment, Handprint Entertainment and Saturday Night Live Studios, and work at Interscope Communications led her to a position as Senior Story Analyst for Scott Kroopf's production company Radar Pictures.
Pilar was later bitten by the "teaching bug" while teaching screenwriting and story analysis at the UCLA Writers’ Program. In 2001 she started her own company, "On the Page," and in 2004 opened the On the Page Writers Studio in Sherman Oaks, California. In the interest of expanding access to her teaching tools, Pilar has created a new instructional "On the Page" DVD. She also presents weekly "On the Page" podcasts with guest hosts from within the industry. The shows regularly appear in the iTunes Top 100 list of film and TV podcasts.
