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 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, how 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 are chatting with Stacey Rookizer,

an award-winning creator, showrunner,

and executive producer whose new show is the Netflix hit Sex Lights.

Stacy also was the showrunner and executive producer for the critically acclaimed award-winning drama unreal.

And her other writing credits include the Golden Globe Award

So Stacy has worked at all levels of the TV Writers Room

and can speak to what the current environment

and TV Writers' Rooms look like.

Welcome to the show, Stacy.

Thank you so much.

I'm so thrilled to be here.
