We went to theatre school together. We survived it, but we didn't quite understand.
15s
Gina Pulice
20 years later, we're digging deep re talking to our guests about their experiences and trying to make sense of it all.
21s
Jen Bosworth-Ramirez
We survived theater school and you will too. Are we famous yet?
30s
Gina Pulice
Anyways? So I want to hear about your pilot.
36s
Jen Bosworth-Ramirez
Well, I'm in a pickle because I'm in a real pickle. Gina. What happened was, see, what had happened was, was I entered, there is a, a contest. They said, okay, write a log line and your bio. And if, if people are interested and we'll - through this organization, I won't mention, but cause who knows. And if, if you write your bio in your log line and we'll send it to execs, and if execs are interested, they'll contact you about your project. And the deadline was last night and I entered a week ago and this weekend at 1:00 AM I get an email saying, send us the, the full script.
1m 26s
Gina Pulice
Oh my God, that is amazing. Oh but now you have to write it. I get it.
1m 35s
Jen Bosworth-Ramirez
I started, it was like 1:00 AM and I'm never up, but I happened to be up and I, and there was an email and it was like, can we see the whole script for called my calls? And I was like, yes, I wrote back the next morning and said, good morning. And I, I said the truth. I said, I'm in between drafts. I'm incorporating notes from my mentor, which is true. And I will have it to you as I'm madly working on it and I'll have it to as soon as possible. But yeah. And so I, no, the log line is good. And I know that, okay, when Bridget Lopez - up and coming up and coming entertainment, executive and champion of the me too movement is blackmailed by her former boss - former disgrace boss.
2m 33s
Jen Bosworth-Ramirez
She hires him as her assistant so she can keep her part in the crimes secrets.
2m 40s
Gina Pulice
I love it. So jam packed, and it is so much information in such a pithy way to read it too. Yeah. So
2m 49s
Jen Bosworth-Ramirez
You will, you will win and win and I'll send it on over. But so what what's happening now with me and I'm just in, in, in total, like, oh, and, and I wrote to my mentor and told her what she's like, congratulations, you've set up quite a challenge for yourself. You can do it. And it's going to be hard. I was like, you are correct. She didn't say anything like, so I guess my question to you is, I don't know, or I just feel like this was happened and Hollywood where people pitch ideas and the thing isn't written, I would assume. No, I
3m 20s
Gina Pulice
Think that happens mostly 99% of the time, because I have heard so many stories from people who say they'll pitch 12 ideas, and then they'll the, whoever somebody will buy the idea that they literally thought of in the moment that they were sitting there in the meeting. And then they're like, oh shit. And I have to go write this. I think that, I think it's the norm really. I mean, and, and they didn't say to you send it to us immediately, Did they?
3m 46s
Jen Bosworth-Ramirez
No. They just said and send it over. And I said, I will. So that's what I'm doing, beans. I, you know, exciting, exciting. And it's, and it's, it's interesting to, to sit down I'm the, my balcony and actually do the work. And I find that I get really close, literally. Like I'm typing really close and I'm doing a thing. And then I have to step away. I have to get, I have to, it gets too much. And then I get up and go walk around and do some weird stuff. And then I go back and sit. So that's how I write, I don't know how you, right. But I get really into it. And then it's too much. And I'm like, oh, okay. I have to step back.
4m 28s
Jen Bosworth-Ramirez
Right.
4m 29s
Gina Pulice
So tell me what the.... It literally just the mechanics of sitting down and making sure you have whatever it is, 45 pages, is it that you don't totally know where the story's going to be? Is it that you have one? You know, like what, what we found in our pilot is we have these really strong characters. We have a very strong setting and the plot was the heart is the harder part. And that's, that's definitely true for me. Plot is my weakest, which is kind of funny to say like, okay, well, the plot is sort of everything agreed, but I, and I feel
5m 12s
Jen Bosworth-Ramirez
The same way I have the same. I mean, I think I have. Yeah. So, so I know these characters inside and out. I like we did with, like we do with Kiki. Its like, but yeah. I don't know exactly how they're going to get to where they're going. I know where I know for the most part we're in the pilot, they end up, but it's it's for me, it's sitting down and doing an outline and, and getting it all and I had note cards. And so it's like, you know, it's just doing the thing sitting. It's two things. Plot meets sitting my butt down and doing the thing it feels. So, and I wonder underneath of its vulnerable vulnerability, but I'm the outsider.
5m 57s
Jen Bosworth-Ramirez
It feels so uncomfortable. Like I'm like literally trying to get dressed in a sweater that's a little too tight and sit down and, and just do the thing, like just do the thing. And you know, it's interesting. I, my sister in high school was someone who procrastinated. She was an, a student, but procrastinated. And then she would wait until the last minute and then scream and yell literally and start freaking out and then get it done. So I feel like that my version of that is like, okay, getting up, having to walk around, drinking some, drinking, something, a lot of seltzer water getting back out, you know, eating an almond.
6m 43s
Jen Bosworth-Ramirez
And it's like it getting my butt in the chair for, and then, you know, it's, it's hard, it's hard. And I, I dance around it and I'm wrestling with it. And so yesterday I really just started pounding it out. The, the, the outline is pound pounded out and now I'll send it to my mentor and she'll look at it. And, but it's, it's wrestling. I saw this hashtag and it was wrestling with words doors. And that's how I feel about this, even though I'm on the balcony. So mine's wrestling, with words on the balcony and it, and Stephen K...
