Writing and Pitching Across Formats ft. Gretchen Enders (Queen America/Grace and Frankie) (PT124)

Lily Tomlin

WGA-award-winning writer Gretchen Enders offers a refreshingly honest and commonsensical series of insights about putting creative aspirations into practice, and balancing creative self-indulgence with results-oriented focus. We discuss her journey from pursuing acting and discovering improv in LA, and working a temp job at HBO all the way to stepping into the writer’s room for Netflix, Amazon, and currently, Facebook Watch (with its billions of dollars). We also discuss whether an award win is an advantage or a hindrance, the challenging sleeping practices of show-runners, her lessons from Oscar-winner Martin McDonagh (THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI) and the ‘perfectly fine answer’ you can present in a pitch meeting. Content creators, and those seeking ways to find confidence within themselves, will most definitely enjoy this chat!   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
