A little more about your show-selling sherpa...

Writer, actor, and producer Adrienne Rose White co-created and sold the drama series Barrister's Ball to CBS Studios in 2021 with executive producer Ted Humphrey. With her writing partner, she sold the Untitled White/Chan/Case comedy pilot to CBS Network (as seen in Deadline and Variety), and optioned the hour-long dramedy Safe Space to Lakeshore Entertainment. She is also frequently featured on Elizabeth Banks' WhoHaha and was named a comedienne to look out for in their Comedy Call-Out in 2020. Adrienne is producer and co-star of Quirky Female Protagonist as Straight-Laced Bestie, which received acclaim from the Huffington Post, IndieWire, WUWM 89.7 FM, and others.

As an actress, she was recently cast in a feature film with an A-list leading actress and Oscar-winning producing team, which she can't talk about yet. So in the meantime, she's the best friend you can turn to for sincere advice... in the recently released thriller Another Girl, written and directed by Allison Burnett (Underworld: Awakening and Autumn in New York). She's the playful prodigy with quips for days... in the teen horror The Witch Files with Holly Taylor (The Americans). And she's the warm, driven, sexy lead in the forthcoming drama After We're Over, written and directed by Nate Myers (Rake on Fox).

Adrienne's career began when she wrote and starred in the short film Mira Mira, a fairytale about race and isolation that premiered at the NewFilmmakers New York and won Honorable Mention at the Women's Independent Film Festival. An alum of the Atlantic Theater Co's conservatory program, she also graduated from Harvard College, but she avoids bringing that up in conversation.

Frequently Asked Questions

SO, WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT?

There are some incredible stories that need to be told and voices that need to be heard. Stories that, right now, aren't making it past the gatekeepers at the TV studios, production companies, and networks.

Hollywood is a town where relationships are everything. When you’re starting from outside of those privileged circles, there’s not a lot of clarity on how to actually get a TV project sold.

BOO. SOUNDS IMPOSSIBLE.

But it’s not impossible, and it's not rocket science. It’s about finding flow, that sweet spot where you are prepared, spontaneous and authentic, so that you can attract aligned creative partners and buyers. 

That's how I’ve optioned or sold 5 shows, and I want to empower more people with diverse life experiences and backgrounds to do the same.

OK, I'M INTERESTED. HOW?

So I created on online course called How to *Actually* Sell A TV Show, Organically, where participants both create the content and learn how to foster the relationships so that they can sell their TV show idea, in flow instead of burn out. I walk participants step by step through the process of taking an experience or idea that’s authentic to them, and create a TV pitch that can sell.

WHEN YOU SAY SELL, HOW MUCH ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?

Keep in mind that first shows can sell for $100,000 or more. My first show did.

NICE. BUT WHO IS THIS FOR?

This course is specifically designed for people that aren’t in the entertainment industry already, but have always had a dream or an idea, or a story that the world needs to hear.

It’s also designed for those who are in the industry, but who haven’t yet achieved the level of success they aspire to, and want to have more creative and financial control over their careers.

HOW LONG IS THE COURSE?

If you do one lesson per week, it would take 3 months. But you can move faster or slower, depending on how you like to flow. It's up to you!

OHHHH YES, I WANT THAT!
