  • Harder but better

    Diane gives the advice I DONT WANT TO HEAR, which is exactly the advice I NEED TO HEAR. Can’t wait to try and implement the ideas she shares within my own screenplay, to revive it to bring it life! Thank you, Diane, for making it harder and better 😊

  • Get inspired

    Trying to forge a creative career can be a hard and lonely road. Diane Bell has a great gift for helping people feel that they have the right to succeed. Some of her podcasts are practical: the nuts and bolts of things like screenplays and film festivals. Some of them deal with intangible barriers, like imposter syndrome. Whatever the subject, Diane is the cheerleader you never knew you needed. She is full of energy, frankness and kindness. I’m glad to see she’s back after a break from podcastin... more

  • Excellent, Helpful Advice and Inspiration

    I found Diane on Instagram and began following her. The IG posts were always a source of wisdom and warmth. I was happy to find these podcasts. Downloaded a few and never listened. Just found them again this week and listened to an older pod from the start of the pandemic - about how it matters what you believe. Exactly what I needed to hear at the time. All helpful information and communicated beautifully. Very happy I found this.
