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 lights

had 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.

What is up? Screenwriting Live Family, it is producer Jeff here, and boy, do we have an amazing episode

for all of you this week? Believe it or not, I think Megan Lorian have outdone themselves.

It's another live show, and this week we're coming to you with our very first in-person live show from the

Austin Film Festival.

Megan Lorian were very busy, both of them oversaw multiple panels including this one and I just

think you are about to get so much out of this story workshop. Megan Lauren will

introduce the workshop once the episode starts so I'm not going to waste your time but I do

want to let you know that Megan Lorian have a ton of amazing takeaways from their

time at AFF you know both of them are the first to say how much they're

learning as well and I'm really looking forward to it because

tomorrow Meg Loring and I are going to get on a Zoom and debrief everything that they learned during

the festival and if you want to eavesdrop on that conversation we're going to be airing it exclusively on our Patreon.

If you haven't heard about our Patreon, it's kind of a level up subscription element to the Screenwriting Life show.

A lot of you guys have been asking for additional opportunities and ways to kind of expand your screen
