John and Craig discuss what it feels like to finish a project — the combination of excitement and relief, joy and sadness — as Craig advises John which project he should write next now that Big Fish is set to open.

In film news, a new fund aims to back films directed by women, while Los Angeles appoints a new film czar with considerable studio experience.

All this, plus Craig recounts how he nearly saw John take a fist to the face.
