Hey, welcome to the screenwriting life. I'm Meg Lafour. And I'm L'Orian 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 life.

Had a not only survived the ups and downs but thrives.

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 guys, welcome back to the show.

Today we'll be discussing what happens when you break into the industry

and get that first big call.

Recently we had a listener, Jessica H, post on our Facebook group and she said,

I'm new to the world of professional screenwriting and this podcast has been so much help.

There's a ton of resources for getting a manager and getting recognized, but so much

once you've actually gotten there.

So we wanted to explore this in greater depth

today on the show, so that's what we'll be doing. But before we jump in let's get to our week or what we like to call

adventures and screenwriting. Meg how was your week? My week was I was still back east so still doing family things and

writing at the same time and one project is pretty much moving forward into a rough cut.

And so it really is much more about little things,

you know, lines here or there. Oh well well bandaid that for now.

So that's always you know fun.
