Hey everyone, welcome back to the screenwriting life. I'm Meg Lofo.

And I'm Lori and McKenna. And today we're excited to be chatting with Kaz Fearpo.

Kaz is a director, screenwriter, and photographer, born and raised in the forest of northern California,

a graduate of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. His work has landed him on the

Forbes 30 under 30 and at the top of the blacklist. As a filmmaker, Kaz documented the front

lines of the Syrian refugee crisis, creating the refugee project, which premiered at South by Southwest.

He also collaborated with UNICEF and the World Wildlife Fund to tell stories of hope

and conflict zones around the world. Represented by CAA, Kaz stormed into Hollywood with his cousin

and writing partner Ryan Fearpoe with their blacklist topping World War II thriller Ruins starring

Galgado, before kicking off phase four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Eternals,

directed by Academy Award winner, Chloe Zhao.

Right now, Kaz and Ryan are creating Butch and Sundance for Amazon, starring Glenn Powell and Reggae Jean Page with the Russo Brothers producing,

and their original sports drama Big Wave for Make Ready and Apple is on the way.

Welcome Kaz to the show. It is an honor Meg and Lorien. I'm a huge fan of you as artists and of the

show. I listen to all the time. So thank you for having me. It's a pleasure. And from your from your bio,

we know how busy you are. Holy smoke.
