In this 40-minute discussion with writer Leilani Downer on her new script, "7:11", Leilani gives us a breakdown of the story and her characters in it. We also discuss what it's like to tell covid stories in the time of covid and what inspired Leilani to tell this story in particular. Additionally Leilani gives us some great tips for how to prepare for these roles and answers a variety of questions about working as a writer and filmmaker in the industry.

Featured in this discussion are HCandF members Vena Howard and Dylan Rogers who were both in Leilani's previous HCandF project, "The Zoom Room Breakup". They give us some great insight into Leilani's work and tell us about their experience as well! HCandF Co-Founder, Vinay Bhagat is on the podcast today as well, to join the discussion and share some updates and upcoming events for HCandF members.
