Hey, this is Jon.

Today's episode is a rebroadcast.

So back in 2019, Craig and I met with a group of executives to talk about how they give

us notes.

It ended up being a great conversation, a good back and forth.

So whether you're an executive or a producer, giving notes or a writer receiving those

notes, I think you'll find it helpful.

And for our premium members, stick around after the show because Drew and I will be back

to talk about his thesis project.

He is back to graduate from film school.

Now we're going to talk through the thesis project he's been working on.

Thanks, enjoy.

Hello and welcome.

My name is Jon August and this is episode 399 of Script Notes, a podcast about screenwriting

and things that are interesting to screenwriters.

So this afternoon, Craig and I did something different.

We went over to Ambulin and spoke to a group of about 30 development executives to discuss

what it feels like as a writer to get notes and offer them suggestions for how to give

notes that will actually achieve what they want.

In many ways, this episode reminds me most of episode 99, where we sat down with therapist

Dennis Pellumbau to talk about psychotherapy for screenwriters and the weird ways that

writers process emotion.
