Television
is the hottest medium for writers and producers now, but not
everyone knows how to take their idea from conception to sale to on
the air. Now you can learn directly from one of television's
most successful producers - ARNOLD SHAPIRO - during a comprehensive
2-day
seminar that will not only teach you how to develop your ideas, but
create, market, pitch, and, most importantly, get them on the air.

"Arnold
is as talented a teacher as he is a producer. His insights about
attitude, ethics and passion are as useful as his knowledge about
selling and producing." |

Rosenblum

Over
the course of two full days Arnold will take you through the entire

"Television is one of the most highly-competitive businesses in
the world, with obstacles and rejection as prevalent as
opportunities for fame and fortune. This seminar is an ideal forum
for me to inform and inspire others to find success and
fulfillment in their pursuits. From my thousands of hours of TV
producing; and from my hands-on experience creating, developing,
pitching, selling, producing, and publicizing hundreds of shows in
numerous genres, I feel that my experiences and lessons learned
can benefit those who want to work in TV -- no matter what work
they do now." |

From
conception to sale, Arnold’s “Creating, Pitching & Selling Your Own
TV Shows” is a full day of learning the realities of getting your
show on the air.

"When I asked Arnold to take over Big Brother, I knew I was getting a producer of the highest reputation
and standards; by the end, I had also gotten a producer who
transformed the series into a hit show. He has been an
incredible mentor to many, and there are a multitude of
successful producers today who owe their careers to Arnold." |
