In this episode, Hilliard & guest co-host Zimran Jacob sit down to chop it up with writer/producer NIKHIL S. JAYARAM in a two hour, nothing-but-game episode for all of you writers dying to get staffed on a TV series!
We talk about Nikhil's new book THE TV WRITERS HIDDEN PATH:
TVWRITERSHIDDENPATH.COM
Nikhil is a screenwriter for television and film. Rising from Staff Writer to Producer, he’s written on hit TV series including the Emmy-nominated STAR TREK: PRODIGY for Paramount+/Nickelodeon, NBC’s SHADES OF BLUE and THE MYSTERIES OF LAURA, and shows in various stages of development
for Netflix and other outlets. He has sold projects to and written for major studios, such as Sony Pictures Television, Warner
Brothers Television, Universal Television, Activision/Blizzard
Studios, and ViacomCBS. He’s currently scribing a romantic
comedy feature for Hallmark.
His writing has earned him entry
into the CBS Writers Mentoring Program, NBC’s Writers on the
Verge, the CAPE (Coalition of Asian Pacifics in Entertainment) New Writers Fellowship, and the Disney/ABC Fellowship. Recently, he even worked internationally, consulting on a feature film based in New Zealand. He’s also the founder of the WGAW South Asian Writers Committee.. A Northwestern University
alum, Nikhil lives in Los Angeles, California, with his rescue pit bull!
