Script Nerds

In this episode we talk about "K*lling Your Babies." (Also called "K*lling Your Darlings.") Why such a violent term exists? Because it's a hard thing to do.

Join us as we violently cut through the BS we created for the greater good of the project. It's hard to k*ll something you love.

Enjoy!

In this episode, Adam shows you the stuff you don't show people. Essentially, the early writings you never show people, because plotlines and parts are all over the place, jokes are tested out, and the story starts to take its shape.

Enjoy the show!

Screenwriting 101: A Brief Introduction to Screenwriting
(Part 1 of 3)

Hello Script Nerds! Welcome to our new podcast where we dive into the trenches of screenwriting, revealing to you just how much work goes into a script that your audience will never see!

In Season 1 of our show, we spend the first 3 episodes giving you a brief introduction to writing, so if you want, you can get your own script underway. In our episodes (3-19) we go through the journey of taking a script from a blank page to a full, half-hour, comedic, TV pilot. And EPISODE 20 is a table read of the script with actors!

In this episode, we focus on Choosing a Format and World Building.

We hope you enjoy our show!
