What a fantastic course. I zoomed in from Australia and it was well worth it! Bennett was absolutely brilliant. He explained all the basics and the group created a pilot episode together for a new sitcom. At the beginning, I wondered if we were actually being taken for a ride - was this just a way for someone to glean ideas for a new show? But no, it was a really smart way to get the group to ‘buy in’ and develop characters and plot. By doing, we learnt. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and would recommend it to anyone interested in writing a sitcom.
