Hey, welcome to the screenwriting life. I'm Meg Lafour. And I'm Lorraine McKenna. We are professional screenwriters. We've worked together as a team and separately. We've worked on studio and indie films, live action and animation from my work on Inside Out and

Captain Marvel. To my work in Pixar Story Department on Up, Brave, and Inside Out.

We are here to share our insights on the craft of screenwriting and also the lights.

Had a not only survive the ups and downs, but thrive.

We want to help you become the best screenwriter you can be

and to reassure you that you are not alone on this journey. Hey, T fan, producer Jeff here, and before we dive into today's amazing show with comedy legend Dan O'Shannon,

just a couple of quick housekeeping announcements.

First, Lorian's taking a brief hiatus from the show. She's just kind of in the

thick of it with deadlines and work, etc, etc. As is so often the case being a professional

writer, so no worries, she will be back soon, but in the meantime, it's just Meg and I.

And second of all, I've been talking about my feature film debut,

always Lola on the show, and we have another LA screening at the Chinese Theater on Saturday, September 10th at 7.30 PM.

I know a lot of our listeners are LA based and some of you have been especially curious after

we took home best feature at the Marina Del Rey Film Festival.

So this might be your last chance to catch it on a big screen in Los Angeles and more importantly

to support indie film.

I know a lot of you all are emerging writers and filmmakers.

So if you're curious about the movie I would love to have

you there I'll put the ticket link in the description below but again that's Saturday

September 10th at 730 p.m. for the Silicon Beach Film Festival. In Los Angeles it's at the Chinese

theater. The ticket link is in the description below and we're Block M. I

would love to see you there and to meet you and it's a great chance to support
