#Scriptchat Topic
EURO: Guest Robert Thorogood @robthor, creator and writer of
DEATH IN PARADISE
USA: Guest Chris Sparling @chrissparling, screenwriter of
BURIED
Whenever we can speak directly to industry professionals, we
learn on a totally different level. Whether it’s picking their brain about
craft or business, there’s nothing like the energy of a writer who has walked
the walk. We are eternally grateful to Robert and Chris for sharing their
process and journey with us this week. Transcripts like this are gold. Enjoy!

drama #scriptchat
