  • Love this!

    This is my go-to podcast every morning on my bus commute to the office. It’s been revelatory. So much incredible information. Love the questions. Love the masters they interview. It’s just been such an amazing source of inspiration for me. I can’t recommend this podcast enough. Invaluable information for an aspiring screenwriter, such as myself. I look forward to the day when I’m being interviewed on Write On :) THANKS for this podcast Final Draft!

Q: Do you have any general advice for someone writing a story from history or a biopic?

They are able to seduce you by offering very simple solutions to complexity and chaos for their own gain.
