November 17, 2020 Scriptnotes, Transcribed

John and Craig welcome back writer-director Scott Frank (Out of Sight, Minority Report, Godless) to discuss his new series The Queen’s Gambit and writing scenes that use senses beyond just sight and sound.

We also answer listener questions on Voice Over narration and researching versus writing for a period piece.

Finally, in our bonus segment for premium members we discuss Thanksgiving and a few things we’re grateful for this year.
