Fact and fiction blend beautifully together in today's film.

Howdy? I'm Jeff Goldsmith and this is the Q&A. My agenda is simple.

Each week I plan to bring you in-depth insight into the creative process of storytelling.

Folks, today I'm very pleased to have with us, screenwriter Stephen Knight to chat about his new film, Spencer.

And you know, folks, this was a great chat because we talked about

what it takes to blend historical fact and fiction and make it entertaining and let your audience know

also check out Backstory magazine over at Backstory.net. You know, we recently released our winter

issue with a dune cover. There is so much stuff in it. We even just keep adding stories to it. We put in a huge

nickel fellows piece since it's the award season. And you could even read excerpts from the

nickel screenplays. So there's a lot in there. You could check out the table of contents at

backstory.net. You could also check out our blog where we've been putting up some free

interviews that are not in the magazine for you to read in their entirety. And we, of course,

also put reviews on there periodically as well as we'll be doing during Sundance. So there's a lot

going on at Backstory.net, obviously. And you know, you can read us on a desktop or laptop or

via the Backstory app on an

iPad. And if you've never read us before, I hope you check out our free issue, which you can read

in its entirety. And if you like what you read, I hope you consider becoming a subscriber.
