Navigating the current television marketplace can be challenging. With so much content and the emergence of new streaming services, deciphering what buyers are presently interested in can be a daunting task. This challenge is particularly difficult for aspiring writers who have not yet been through the development process. While there's no foolproof formula for selling a television show, understanding the marketplace and tailoring your project to stand out can provide a significant advantage when developing your own series.

In this exclusive Stage 32 webinar, you will gain insight into what each major streaming service and network is looking for and discover strategies to make your project stand out in the competitive marketplace. Teaching you everything you need to know to navigate the television marketplace is veteran film/tv executive Jeff Nemon. With over fifteen years of experience, Jeff has been involved with some of the biggest shows on TV and has worked with almost every streamer, network, and studio. During his career Jeff has sold over 50 shows to streamers and networks and has worked with some of the top showrunners in the industry. Most recently, Jeff was the SVP of Development at showrunner/producer Michael Seitzman's company, Maniac Productions. He oversaw Michael's studio deal at Blumhouse TV and a slate of thirty projects. 

Jeff has successfully sold shows to nearly every major buyer in the industry and frequently interacts with network executives to understand what they are looking for. He has also guided numerous writers who have sold their first television show with his guidance. Now, Jeff is sharing his knowledge and experience exclusively with the Stage 32 community!

In this information-packed webinar, you'll learn about the specific criteria each network and streaming platform are seeking, the type of projects that can set you apart, and invaluable advice for selling your television show. Jeff will also guide you through the typical television development process, detailing the steps that precede your official network sale, so you can find more success in selling your television series to a streamer or major network.
