CU Denver Web Series

The annual web series production is one of the key offerings of the CU Denver Film and Television program. As a two-semester class (FITV 3500 – Writing for Episodic Television and FITV 3090 – Producing Episodic Television), this innovative experience annually follows from inception to the aired completion of original web series. Writing for Episodic Television entails an examination of the current

television industry, pitches of original concepts, and the development of extended written series. The 2018 class completed 13 series and over 200 individual episodes. Producing Episodic Television follows with the full development through pre-production, production, post-production and airing online of one or two series selected from those written. It also features two faculty members who mentor every step of the entire creative process. These classes give students the most real-world, hands-on experience of their college careers. Students get to see their series come to life and create crew relationships that will last well beyond graduation. The class allows students to practically apply the skills they’ve learned in other classes and inspires artistic excellence. The mission of the CU Denver College of Arts and Media is to prepare students for careers in their artistic passions, the Web series does that. The students in the class have artistic passions and a love of story, this program makes them ready to succeed with those passions.
