This episode of The Town is brought to you by The Madison, the new original series on Paramount Plus.

Academy Award nominee Taylor Sheridan's most intimate story yet, unlike anything he's ever done before.

The Madison follows a family raised in a world of digital distraction forced by tragedy to truly see one another

and come together. Authentic, multi-layered, and did I mention starring Michelle Pfeiffer and

Kurt Russell? Don't miss the Madison. New series streaming March 14th, only on Paramount Plus.

It is Friday, March 6th. It's a live show. Our little film school tour rolls on, taking a break from the Paramount Warner Brothers merger drama for a much more fun episode about how to chart a career path as an up-and-coming actor-slash-writer-producer slash everything.

Rachel Sennett is in many ways a combination of old school and new school talent.

She first started acting at NYU Film School, but then she developed her own voice via everything

online from podcast to Twitter to open mic nights around New York City. Most people first took

notice of her in Shiva Baby in 2020, small indie that began as a short

film directed by a classmate at NYU. She then did the Indies, Bodies, Bodies, Bodies,

and Bottoms, which led to a bunch of failed TV projects, both on traditional outlets like Comedy

Central and web-only projects. And then last year, she launched I Love L.A., the HBO comedy

series that Craig and I are both

fans of, and was renewed for a second season. She's currently leading the writer's room for that

follow-up season, but she took a break to join me and Lucas Shaw, Monday Guy, at the film

school at Chapman University in Orange County as part of our mini tour. It's a very fun chat about

her ambitions, both inside and outside the traditional industry.

So no call sheet today.

It's Rachel's Senate and how it is still possible

to break into Hollywood.
