Scriptnotes Podcast - Un pódcast de John August and Craig Mazin - Martes

Categorías:

John sits down with WGA Negotiating Committee co-chair Chris Keyser to look at how writers crafted the narrative of the strike. From establishing the premise and themes, identifying characters, and all the way down to specific word choices, we dissect the choices, revisions, and tactics used to guide the MBA negotiations to a successful conclusion. We also answer listener questions on foreign levies and writers’ relationship with the studios going forward. In our bonus segment for premium members, we discuss Chris Keyser’s debate career and make a strong argument for how it shaped his skills as an orator.
