June 21, 2022 Scriptnotes, Transcribed

John invites Michael Waldron (Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Loki) to share his origin story and offer advice on how to make the most of film school/internship opportunities.

We discuss writing characters that cross the TV/film barrier and answer listener questions on preparing for success, looking for rejection, and how to track ideas.

In our bonus segment for premium members, we discuss what writers need to know about working in Atlanta.
