About
For Actors, Writers Or Anyone
You do not need an idea or a pitch to take the class. Conversely, if you have an idea you want to get onto the page, Gunnar will help you develop it to professional industry standards. My Safe & Easy Writing Class covers the basics of writing like scene structure, story, relationship development and how to create laugh out loud funny jokes.
Gunnar has a deep knowledge of the history of television comedy. He understands exactly why sitcoms work. When they don’t, he can articulate why they don’t. You’ll also learn about core family dynamics, how to use status to create conflict and how family dysfunction enables sitcoms to function. Most ideas have value. Not all ideas lend themselves to series television. Gunnar knows the difference. He’ll teach you how to design a show without first-time writer mistakes.
