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

Hey everyone, welcome back to the show.

Today we are chatting with two very exciting voices in comedy right now.

Shantira Jackson and Duane Perkins.

Welcome to the show.

So, Chantira and Duane are Emmy and WGA nominated for their work on the Amber Ruffin

Show and Chantira has also worked on Big Mouth, Save By the Bell and She the People.

Duane's credits include Brooklyn 99, Save by the Pell and the Break,

saved by the Bell, not the Pell, saved by the Bell.

And the break with Michelle Wolf and both are also performers

in scripted and stand up.

Now, Shantira, do you do stand up as well?

If somebody asks, I'll do it. So she will, she's available. I've done it. I have done it and I'll do it again probably, but I don't seek it out personally myself.

Awesome.

Great answer.

Oh, welcome you guys.
