It would be beneficial to prepare more before the interview. One of the best interviewers ... more

  • Great content even for a non-writer!

    I’m an actor and producer. Not a writer. But I love this podcast. The perspective it gives me for the scripts I’m working on is invaluable. I love hearing how the sausage gets made so to speak, and Pilar’s expertise gives me a leg up when I’m evaluating and/or breaking down a script! Thank you for all you do and keep those brilliant writers coming! We need you to do our work! Teamwork makes the Dream Work!

I understand in writing - it might not matter. But as a TV/Movie Writer, Director, Producer — going back 22 years in the industry — who started in development and script coordinating and script supervising. I would be the writer/script supervisor on set. And as a Script Super - I needed to break down ever page on paper which takes sooo ... more
