What if a basketball game could offer more than just a win? This week on Sportly, we head to San Quentin, where the Golden State Warriors face off against incarcerated players in a decade-long rivalry that’s redefining second chances. But are these programs as beneficial as they seem, or do they risk perpetuating systemic injustices?

In our first episode of "inside the writers' room" bonus interviews, Adrián Duston-Muñoz joins us to talk about cinematic storytelling, cherry-picking process advice, and the appeal of a clear cut hero and villain.

ABOUT ADRIÁN

Se habla español. I always list that phrase somewhere on my resume. That's what the @typewritertilde icon means. Se habla español. Bilinguals and polyglots know that every word, every idiom, and every place has at least two contexts. When the art form is black words on white paper, it's valuable to see in color. I've written script, copy, sketch, and creative nonfiction. I've published, placed in competitions, and have dented the universe of internet content creation. I've worked in production, post-production, and management. Based in Los Angeles.
