On today's episode we quiz Jack of all Trades, Ellie Kanner, on the work aspiring writers need to do in order to break in, and all the different avenues you can take. She has a diverse background spanning from working at a talent agency to casting, producing, writing, and directing. From her pivotal roles in casting iconic shows like "Friends" and "Sex and the City" to her work on indie gems like "Authors Anonymous" and "For the Love of Money," Her short-form series "Dropping the Soap," which Ellie directed and executive produced, earned Jane Lynch an Emmy and can be found on Prime Video. Ellie helmed several episodes of television then went on to direct, co-write, and co-produce Discovery+'s debut holiday scripted movie, "Candy Coated Christmas.” Her most recent comedy "Spread," staring Elizabeth Gillies and Harvey Keitel, is currently streaming on Tubi.

As always, this is an incredible conversation not to be missed. We appreciate your continued support!
