Dive deep behind the scenes of bringing novels to life on the screen.

What happens when a TV comedy writer sits down with Sadie and Jeanne?
Lots of laughs, inspiration and mayhem. But mostly, great advice for anyone who wants to dip their toes into the indie space and take a shot at directing.
Christy Stratton, writer on "Modern Family," "Awkward," "King of the Hill," and more, shares insights into making her first short film, The Runt, her hopes of getting funding for a feature, and incredible advice she wishes she had when she first started off as a writer.
Catch The Runt at a film festival near you—"a John Hughes-ian coming-of-age short film set in 1979."

Yes, you read that right. Dan Mirvish, co-founder of Slamdance, does it all. And his amazing new film, 18 1/2, comes out on DVD this month (see links below ... we have all the links).
There is quite literally something for everyone in the episode, from practical advice on film school, turning your art into a business, scones ... and alligators. But most importantly, Dan is possibly the coolest dude we've ever met and we learned so much.
Get those earbuds in!

Dusty Wright has done it all—musician, William Morris agent, creator of a magazine, interviewed the likes of Led Zeppelin and Ron Howard, and so much more.
His story will not only inspire, but also humble every artist who hears it.
This one isn't just for musicians. It's for artists of all stripes! We dive deep into the mindset of the creator.
(Apologies for Jeanne's sound sucking in the intro. Don't worry, it's fine for the full interview. Turns out earbuds can't compare to a real mic.)

It's time to pull back the curtain and discuss how the sausage gets made. Sadie Dean and Jeanne Veillette Bowerman dive deep into their writing process, making goals, sharing a zillion resources they use to get words on the page and thoughts on juggling a crazy life with trying to be creative.
This one has more resources than we even realized, and even more to come, so check back later for Sadie's list of writing books!

What can we say about Bob? He's a screenwriter, actor, musician and now ... novelist. He's also a hell of a fun interview!
Sadie and Jeanne talked with Bob about adapting his very first script (written decades ago) into a YA novel. Oh, yes, he did it! And it's fabulous! But we also address important screenwriting advice, especially on how to keep a career going for a very long time.

This is a true reunion of the Three Amigos, but instead of drinking margaritas, the convo is all about writing. The talented Mario O. Moreno branched out from screenwriting and adapted his script into a novella … that’s written as a rap! Trust us, you want to listen to this one.
Oh, and there's a Sexy Clock™.

Where do we begin? How about with the raw truth, delivered by the one and only Christopher Derrick.
We dive into his experience breaking into TV writing, the bumps and bruises he got along the way, the challenges of A.I., and even the lessons learned by getting ripped off. Oh, yeah, it's a big, bad world out there in La La Land.
Most importantly, when we shed light on the struggles and realities of being a professional writer, maybe someone can be spared a tiny bit of pain. At least that's our hope. Grab your earbuds, and let's get at it!

Wow ... this one is definitely a favorite. Sadie and Jeanne make room on their therapy couch for the one and only Amanda Deibert—multi-hyphenate extraordinaire. Like, seriously, she does everything— author, screenwriter, and bestselling comic book and graphic novel writer.
And she's also a must-follow on Twitter.

We're calling this "The Shit Show" not because Joe Favalaro is a "shit show," but because Jeanne was having a shit-show day of mattress delivery and chaos.
Sadie and Jeanne have an in-depth convo with screenwriter/novelist/musician, Joe Favalaro—better known as Joe Straynge—about music, screenwriting, feedback notes, childhood dreams, being dark and broody ... and starting a cello trio.
Cellos are cool as hell. You heard it here first.
