E94 - Aperteur Insight Part One: Development - From Ideation To Production

Catalyst Story Institute & Aperteur present Part One of a Special Live Session… APERTEUR INSIGHT: DEVELOPMENT - FROM IDEATION TO PRODUCTION!

 

Our host Jordan Gelber & Special Guest Jayjit DasGupta will cover all the necessary steps to craft a story & conceive a good TV show with an engaging story engine, memorable characters, proper structure & all the developmental checklists one needs to get the project into production. Aperteur is the technological bridge between content creators and major distributors. We're connecting Hollywood with the authentic, grassroots culture that represents the changing face of media. Aperteur empowers artists to directly connect with untapped audiences and media buyers who crave new and innovative content.
