- We're Making A Movie: Writing Wrap Up
It may seem like writing and rewriting a script is never finished, but we are definitely done with the writing section of this podcast. As we wrap up our screenwriting learning adventure, we’re highlighting what comes after you’ve put your brilliant ideas in Final Draft and hit “save” that last time.
Log lines… treatments… screen competitions. A few things we’re touching on this episode, and we’ll even give you guys some of our hard-earned research. Research… that seems to be another element you’re never finished with in the filmmaking process.

48 min - We're Making A Movie: Rewrites, Table Reads and Feedback
Rewriting. There is nothing you will do more in the writing process than RE-writing. Between notes from your peers, pre-casting table reads, and your own "Eurekas!" along the way, every writer will open that Final Draft file at least 100 times. For us personally? Two billion five hundred and six rewrites. Now, after our research and interviews over the past few weeks- surprise, surprise- we’ve got more rewrites in mind. So let's talk about it, cause seriously it’s so important.

47 min - We're Making A Movie: An Interview w/ Brian Newlin
Animator turned writer, Brian Newlin, joins us for another informative interview episode. Brian is an absolutely hilarious human and a pure idea machine. Because of his quirky humor and amazing ability to weave a story, we’ve long wanted to work with Brian on ANYTHING. We’re pretty excited to sit him down and pick his brain on his writing process. If there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s that there are a million different ways to get your story from your brain to the page.
____
After 20 years as a layout animator working in commercials, games, and animated films, including the “Shrek” and “Madagascar” franchises, Brian made a leap to screenwriting. After developing Social Medium with Tara Jayn, he somehow ended up as the co-executive producer for the “Curious George” animated series. With an extensive background in children’s entertainment, Brian loves crafting unexpected, funny stories to make kids laugh. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife, son, and two feral cats who are plotting to eat him.

1 hr 9 min - We're Making A Movie: An Interview w/ Screenwriter Tom Vaughan
Our exploration of screenwriting continues with a special interview! Who better to talk to about the process than someone who has achieved what we’re setting out to do? Welcome, Tom Vaughan, to our little corner of the internet. Not only is Tom a professional screenwriter whose feature films have hit the big screen, but he also teaches screenwriting at the University of Houston and offers an online course called Story & Plot. We’re betting we are going to learn a lot and have a hunch you will too.
_______________
Tom Vaughan has been a professional screenwriter for 28 years and has taught the subject for nearly as long. He has written projects for Warner Brothers, Sony Pictures, Disney, ABC, NBC, TBS, CBS, Miramax, Castle Rock Entertainment, and many others.
His most recent film, HAUNTING OF QUEEN MARY (2023), followed WINCHESTER (2018), starring Academy Award winner Helen Mirren and Sarah Snook. He has developed projects for Matthew McConaughey, Nicolas Cage, Barry Sonnenfeld, and others, including director David Gordon Green, who is attached to his upcoming action-comedy Most Wanted. His other produced screenplays include UNSTOPPABLE with Wesley Snipes and CRITICAL ASSEMBLY with Katherine Heigl.
His script, DADDY'S GIRL, is slated for production later this year. One of his big life goals was to teach screenwriting at his beloved alma mater, The University of Houston. Which he now does.
Go Coogs!

1 hr 13 min - We're Making A Movie: The Script
Screenwriting! It’s a big step in the filmmaking process and a massive topic in its own right. Entire podcasts have been dedicated to just this topic alone. To us, writing our first feature felt like a colossal task, but after chipping away at it for years, we got there. Even though we already have our “completed” script, we want to explore the topic of screenwriting and dedicate a few episodes to it. There is ALWAYS more to learn.

1 min - We're Making A Movie: An Interview w/ Filmmakers Mitch Yapko and Allen Rueckert
Get ready for our first interview! Filmmakers Mitch Yapko and Allen Rueckert, who wear many hats, join us for a look into their creative process. Both Mitch and Allen are relentless idea machines, constantly coming up with great concepts in very diverse genres. Although we’ve known them for a long time, we’ve never directly asked them…. Where do you get your ideas from??? Join us as we delve into the topic with two of our favorite cohorts.
Mitch Yapko - Director/Writer/Producer
Mitch Yapko is an award-winning director/writer/producer known for his unique character work, focusing often on real characters in surreal situations. His films have shown in over 150 film festivals over the years, including the Sundance Film Festival, Austin Film Festival, USA Film Festival, Dances with Films, Newport Beach, LA Shorts and many others.
Mitch has spent over 15 years directing shorts and pilots, sketch comedies and web series. With a background in theater performance, he has the unique ability to connect with his actors to bring out the best performances every time.
When he's not directing narrative content, Mitch produces commercials and photo shoots for brands such as Adidas, Nike, Jack Daniels, XBOX, Footlocker, Taco Bell, Converse, and more.
Allen Rueckert - Writer/Actor/Director/Editor
Allen Rueckert (pronounced RICK-ERT) has been called charming in that quirky Minnesota way. He is an award-winning actor/writer and has been in several shows and movies.
He has written, directed, and starred in several of his own film projects and many with his writing/directing/production partner, Mitch Yapko ("Nosferajew", "Making a Milk Spiller", "On Site"). They have that same weird and dark sense of humor.
You may have also seen him co-starring with Eddie Murphy and Bob Odenkirk in Netflix's "Dolemite is My Name," or seen his recurring role on HBO's "Veep" or FOX's "911: Lone Star"... and if you haven't, maybe you've just seen him on the street. Allen Rueckert is an award-winning writer for the feature horror/comedy "3 to Die" and for the drama "All this Wind Shakes No Corn", which was also co-written with Mitch Yapko.
Even when Allen writes dramas, he loves adding comedy into a scene when it fits. "We all experience some comedy in every situation whether we want to or not."

1 hr 1 min - We're Making A Movie: The Idea
Okay, let’s start from the top.
The first step (most of the time) in the movie making process is coming up with THE IDEA! Personally, we’re idea machines and this has always been the easier part. We’ve got notebooks loaded with ideas that will probably never see the light of day. So, let’s talk about how we come up with our ideas and how we got the idea for “Turns Out.” We also did some research on how some of our favorite movies came into being.
