CSI made CBS the most watched television network in America. Everyone knows the cast, but it’s the people behind the scenes who have kept this show #1 for NINE seasons.

RICHARD J. LEWIS saw the CSI pilot and told his agent, “We’ve got to get this show!“... He was hired to direct the fourth episode, then another… and by the second season was the in-house director.  He was producing in the third season,  and soon executive producing.
 
We are honored to have Richard as our guest speaker.

We know we are in for an exciting behind-the-scenes look at the most unique crime show on TV, and the journey Richard took to arrive at this place, producing one of the most successful franchises in television history, in a time when network television has had to battle cable networks and the internet to achieve ratings.

Among the topics Richard will cover:

1 Becoming a director is one of the most difficult television or film challenges. How did he achieve this?

2   With so many producers on a show, how is the division of responsibilities decided?

3   Is there any creative flexibility as a director coming on an already developed episodic show?

4   What advice can he give PSWIFT members who want to produce/direct network episodic television? 
    What’s the best road to take.


You won’t want to miss this opportunity!
