Panel wrap: The Business of Writing for Television
A room full of writers hoping to get a toehold in the television business got to meet some heavyweights at the Austin Film Festival Saturday morning.
Members of the “Business of Writing for Television” panel included Bryan Brucks, a manager and producer whose clients have written on such shows as “Seinfeld” and “Murphy Brown,” and Tiffany Ward from Creative Artists Agency. Writers on the panel included Phil Rosenthal (“Everybody Loves Raymond”), Pamela Ribon (“Samantha Who”) and Noah Hawley (“The Unusuals,” “My Generation”).
The panel was less upbeat and more realistic than others at the Festival this year, addressing the ruthless nature of the business and the shrinking number of jobs for writers in a post-writer’s strike, recession-driven television economy.
