  • Great listen, even for Outsiders!

    As a woman in the midwest, completely unaware of how the tv/film industry works, I find this podcast a fantastic peek into an entirely different world! Highly recommend! It’s been especially fun to match voices and personalities to behind-the-scenes names that I had previously only seen scroll across the screen of opening/closing credits! Bravo IHW! Thank you!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jessica Knoll on Helpless, Erotic Thrillers, & Writing Through Fear | Women in Entertainment Podcast
Q: What guidance would you give aspiring authors about pursuing adaptations or getting their work to screen?
Knoll advises authors to raise their hands and vocalize their interest in adaptations, using representation to advocate for themselves rather than waiting for opportunities.
Jessica Knoll on Helpless, Erotic Thrillers, & Writing Through Fear | Women in Entertainment Podcast
Q: How did your approach to writing Helpless differ from Bright Young Women, and what did you learn in the drafting process?
She explains that Helpless felt more natural and easy to write, while Bright Young Women required extensive research and time to craft a setting and time period that felt authentic; revisions for Helpless were substantial but not as structural, unlike Bright Young Women.
Jessica Knoll on Helpless, Erotic Thrillers, & Writing Through Fear | Women in Entertainment Podcast
Q: What was the inception of Helpless and how did you shape its story arc?
Knoll describes being drawn to force proximity dynamics and wanting a two-hander where two characters from a shared past are compelled to confront each other again, driving the emotional and moral tension of the book.
Michelle Kwon on Runway AI, Creative Tools, and the Future of Filmmaking | Women in Entertainment
Q: How is AI shifting the economics of entertainment and is there a risk of oversaturation when everyone can create?
AI expands experimentation and personalized content while requiring good storytelling; the key is to be compelling, consistent, and authentic, which will drive original, more accessible storytelling over the next five years.
Michelle Kwon on Runway AI, Creative Tools, and the Future of Filmmaking | Women in Entertainment
Q: Can you talk to us about a project that used AI in a really fantastic way with Runway specifically, perhaps a scene you can name?
There are many projects, including early live production work with The Late Show and high-profile films like Everything Everywhere All at Once, where Runway enabled faster rotoscoping and allowed directors to iterate more freely and add net-new content around what was filmed.
