For the month of January, 39 Minute Conversations features writers who have been featured on The Black List, the annual list of the best unproduced screenplays of the year as voted on by producers, creative execs, and other Hollywood professionals.

In this episode, Brian T. Arnold has a 39-minute conversation with screenwriter Kevin Sheridan (Colors of Authority). Listen to us talk about transitioning from acting to writing, how a coincidental meeting at a taco truck led to his Black List script, the importance of finding collaborators who speak the same creative language, adapting true stories, his time as a volleyball champion, and much more.
