  • Amazing Content - long Intros

"Did you write a query, meet him at seminar, know him personally?" "How did you raise money?”, "how much money did you raise,” “What was your pitch like?”, “How did you make the deal with Netflix?”, “What did that look like?,”. “Talk me ... more

SYS Podcast Episode 543 – Writing Animation for Disney with Brandon Violette
Q: Can you walk us through the writing process in the writer's room and how a script evolves from outline to page?

SYS Podcast Episode 538 Re-inventing the Western with Joe Cornet
Q: What drew you to the concept of a Western with sumo wrestlers, and what hooked you as a filmmaker?
The uniqueness of placing two sumo champions in a Western story based on a true historical moment was the hook, because it creates a fresh, unexpected dynamic in a familiar genre, and I could explore action, culture clash, and mythic storytelling all at once.

Q: What is The Elephant in the Room all about, and what is the logline?
A romantic comedy about a lonely progressive woman who meets a man she might date and learns he voted for Trump, set against the fraught political climate of December 2020 to January 2021, with the central challenge being whether they can overcome political differences to pursue a relationship.
