From the Story Vault: Paul Leyden is a multi-talented Australian actor, producer, and screenwriter with dozens of film and television credits. In this episode of The Story Blender, he discusses his twisty indie horror flick Come Back To Me and unpacks his writing process, offering advice for those hoping to break into the film industry.

Sometimes you've just got to know when to fight...  On this episode we talk to director Paul Leyden about his new film 'Chick Fight'.  When Anna Wyncomb (Malin Akerman) is introduced to an underground, all-female fight club in order to turn the mess of her life around, she discovers she is much more personally connected to the history of the club than she could ever imagine.  It's empowerment and ass kicking all rolled into one and when we talked with Paul we asked him about the early days of getting this made, getting Malin Akerman on board, the history of the 'chick' comedy and the unique struggle of having something be empowering but still earn it's spot as an 'R Rated Comedy'...

The Story Blender with special guest Paul Leyden

After 15 years Stateside, multi-hypenate Paul Leyden (THE CLEANERS, AS THE WORLD TURNS, CANAL ROAD) knows a few things. He's lived the high life in NYC, killed numerous cellphones and survived many a pilot season. And yes, those last two are related. As a writer/director/producer, he shares stories on how to woo Sony money men, the constraints of writing to locations, how best to win over novelists. (Hint: flattery) and the subtle art of timing when selling scripts. But my favourite is a tale about picking a show with Heather Lockler and Blair Underwood (LAX) over one about being LOST on a deserted island... Pilot season is coming... Please don't take it out on your phone!!
