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 to 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 everyone, welcome back to the show.

Today we're going to be talking with Nora Toomey, who directed my father's dragon,

and Meg Lafove who wrote it.

The movie premiered on Netflix to amazing reviews. So congratulations on that.

And Nora is co-founder of Cartoon Saloon, an animation studio and production company based in Kilkenny, Ireland.

In addition to my father's dragon, she co-directed Secret of the Cowls and directed the breadwinner,

both of which earned Academy Award nominations for Best Animated Feature.

Hi, no time.

Hello, Meg.

Hello, lovely to see you.

Awesome for the show, Larian.

Thank you.

Yes.

We're going to talk about Father's Dragon and more, but before we jump into the show, we're just going to talk about our weeks or what we like to call Adventures in Screenwriting.
