Hey, welcome to the screenwriting life. I'm Meg Lafov. 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 lights.

Had a not only survive 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.

What is up, TSL family? It is producer Jeff here, and I am so excited for this week's show.

We're actually bringing you a special.

Megan Lorian were live panelists for a huge virtual conference out of Australia called

the MCX Screenmakers Conference. It's actually the seventh edition of this event and it's an

industry event for emerging and developing content creators in Australia, but I will say the themes and sort of topics that Megan Lorian covered are of course

universal and not only beautifully shaped the screenwriting life, but kind of just what it means to live our lives as created in general.

As always, I'm always just like so blown away and stunned by what Megan Lorry have to say and I know you will be too.

This conversation kind of hit all of the classic

TSL themes that we love to talk about, but again, every time I hear Megan Lorryin speak on these topics,

I feel like they're just illuminated in a whole new way.

And I want to say a special thanks to Jonathan Champ, who reached out to us for this interview and

beautifully moderated the conversation between the two of them.

So thank you Jonathan and I couldn't be more excited for you guys let's just

get right into it this is Megan Lorian at the MCX screenmakers conference in Australia.
