Right now in today’s streaming driven industry, great writing is your foundation and you already have that! The opportunity is not someday, it is happening now. What matters next is gaining the access, alignment, and advocacy that open real doors. Streaming executives are actively searching for strong material that fits their current mandates and comes through trusted pathways. When you understand how scripts move inside a streamer and how writers strategically position themselves, you put yourself in the strongest possible position to be read, recommended, and remembered now.

Many creatives struggle here not because their scripts aren’t good, but because they’re approaching access the wrong way. You may be submitting blindly, relying on contests without a strategy, or reaching out without clarity on who the gatekeepers are or what an executive actually needs. Writers often overlook key elements like traction, visibility, professional bios, and readiness - only to miss opportunities when an executive finally does respond. This class breaks down where writers go wrong and replaces guesswork with a smarter, more strategic approach.

You’ll be learning from Whitney Davis, a creative executive and producer with over twenty years of experience navigating this exact ecosystem. As co-executive producer of MIKE for Hulu and TRUE LIES for CBS, and a former Vice President at Anthony Hemingway Productions, Whitney has developed and sold projects to Disney, FX, Hulu, and Onyx Collective. She understands how executives think, what makes them say yes to a read, and which writers they want to keep engaging with long-term. Her passion lies in helping artists turn personal stories into powerful, market-ready entertainment and in showing writers how to earn trust and recommendations in a highly competitive space.

In this exclusive Stage 32 webinar, you’ll learn how writers are actually getting their scripts read by streaming executives, how to position your material for the right buyer, and how to navigate gatekeepers with confidence. You’ll cover everything from assessing whether your script is truly ready, writing a bio that gets noticed, and executing a strategic outreach, to mastering follow-ups, managing rejection, and maximizing every introduction. With real-world examples, handouts, and actionable guidance, you’ll walk away with a clear roadmap for building access, momentum, and professional relationships - so when opportunity strikes, you’re ready for more than just one read!

PLUS! You will receive the following handouts to help you:

• Example Production Company Submission

• Sample of Gatekeeper Script Coverage

"Whitney (for me) was amazing! Her guidance and feedback on the first draft of my new screenplay was immense, and I really can't put a price on it. I truly enjoyed every single week.
