“Writers don’t sell scripts hiding behind laptops.”

This time on Living to Write, we’re joined by the wildly versatile Spyder Dobrofsky— Hallmark Christmas movie mastermind turned horror-western gunslinger with Teardrop on Tubi.

We talk about his journey, his directorial debut (Down Below), and that time he ended up on The Jay Leno Show. The highs, the challenges, and what it really takes to make it in this industry.

Follow Spyder on Twitter @SpyderDobrofsky for updates on Down Below.

Welcome to the very first episode of Living to Write! And we’re kicking things off with a legend—Jeff Arch, Oscar-nominated screenwriter of Sleepless in Seattle and author of Attachments.

We dive into the wild story of how Sleepless sold, the comedy gig that almost changed everything, and Jeff’s creative process. Plus, behind-the-scenes stories, hard-earned wisdom, and what it’s like mentoring Brian and Bailey (spoiler: chaos).
